| − | The architecture of a minigrid reaches beyond its mere physical manifestation to the social architecture of the community which engages with it and on which it depends for maintenance and sustainability.<br/>
| + | Following a brief welcome and introduction to the session and subject area, five speakers will present using case study analysis to draw out key themes on challenges in mini-grid delivery models at the nexus between technical, social and economic considerations for whole system sustainability. Each presenter finishes with key challenges or questions posed to spark discussion from the audience. The order of presentation “zooms out” from technical design to delivery models, productive use, regional/national planning and finally policy/institutional considerations. A facilitated discussion on the themes presented will ensue, taking an open framework of questions to presenters, feedback or brief summaries of related research currently being undertaken.Speakers:<br/> |

| − | This session will outline the work that Engineers Without Borders UK and the Royal Academy of Engineering are undertaking, respectively, to enhance engineering education within the UK, sub- Saharan Africa and Asia. The session will aim to address the question; What engineering skills are needed for the future, globally, and how do we achieve this? The feedback gathered from the delegates will feed into a report that the LCEDN/EWB/RAEng are producing for DfID looking at skills for the future in engineering related to the energy sector. The first half of the session will feature formal presentations from three people who have recently completed EWB placements, this will be complemented by presentations outlining both EWB’s efforts to ensure engineering education is fit for the future and an update on the RAE’s international engineering education programmes and opportunities.<br/> | + | This session will outline the work that Engineers Without Borders UK and the Royal Academy of Engineering are undertaking, respectively, to enhance engineering education within the UK, sub- Saharan Africa and Asia.

| − | The iconic ‘last half-mile’ in energy transformation parlance articulates, not a physical distance, but a complex socio-cultural architecture of community structures, physical infrastructure and local and national government interaction.<br/>
| + | Last mile distribution plays a fundamental role in bringing energy access technologies to the last mile, as well as providing essential services like consumer financing and after-sales service. This session will feature two last mile distribution companies in Kenya and Sierra Leone who will present their business models and discuss the communities they reach and the challenges they face. The session will also reflect on opportunities and trends in the sector, highlight critical research gaps, and discuss the potential for collective approaches to supporting last mile distribution companies to increase their efficiency and scale their impact. |
