Dear Partners and Observers, Colleagues and Friends,

We very much hope that this message finds you and your families safe and healthy.

In light of the serious current Covid-19 situation all over the world, it has been decided to postpone the 8th GBEP Bioenergy Week. It is now planned to take place tentatively around the very end of September 2020 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, kindly hosted in the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) Headquarter. I wish to sincerely thank colleagues from the UN ECA, FAO office in Ethiopia, African Energy Commission (AFREC) and African Union Commission (AUC) that have been collaborating with us within the last few months for the organization and hosting of this event. Details on the exact new dates of the event will follow in due time.

In the meantime, kindly find attached a revised draft agenda of the Bioenergy Week that has been developed with the support of the above mentioned co-organizers and with inputs received by GBEP Partners and Observers. Please note that all speakers inserted in this draft are still to be confirmed, also in light of the new dates.

I am also pleased to attach a revised GBEP Youth Award Call for papers with revised deadline for submissions (15 July 2020).

Please do not hesitate to contact us for any additional queries.

My kindest regards,

Michela

Dear Partners and Observers,

 

We are very pleased to announce that the GBEP Bioenergy Week 2020 will be held 9-12 June 2020 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (exact venue to be confirmed in due time).

 

We are happy to circulate the first draft agenda for the Week (please see attached). This draft is based on initial inputs received by GBEP colleagues and initial bilateral exchanges of the GBEP Secretariat. Please note that many of the speakers in this draft agenda have not yet been contacted and are therefore all to be confirmed. 

We kindly request your inputs on suggested speakers for the Week. These could be either from within your network of contacts or based on research or projects that you yourself are involved in, and which could present good practices or experiences in/relevant to the region.

 

Please send any inputs by Saturday 29 February 2020 so that we can finalize the agenda and begin to contact speakers in due advance. We thank you in advance for you contributions, which will be invaluable to ensure a successful event.

 

If you have any queries, do not hesitate to contact us.

 

Kind regards,

 

GBEP Secretariat
