CODEV 2016 Annual Report is here!
11.05.2017
2016 - what another great year for CODEV! Take a look at our Annual Report to see what we have accomplished in the field of cooperation and development.
Also included in this newsletter is a brief update about what we’ve been up to lately. We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we have enjoyed working on these projects.
This MOOC was produced by the outstanding EssentialTech team here at CODEV. It focuses on how innovators can help solve important issues that burden those living in poverty around the world, and addresses how to scale-up sustainably initiatives to achieve greater impact.
This phase of the initiative focuses on the wider use of Info4Dourou2.0’s irrigation management system to help improve food security, sustainably manage water resources, and identify how to adapt to different climate change scenarios. The project also offers 4-6 month internships for motivated students in Burkina Faso and Palestine, in partnership with the EPFL’s local chapter of Ingénieurs du Monde!
First-prize win at the Debiopharm-Inartis Challenge for the new “Hello Mask” project!
The Hello Mask is an exciting collaboration between EssentialLab here at CODEV and the EMPA (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology) in St. Gallen. The project’s main goal is the development of a transparent surgical mask to increase the quality of physician-patient interactions. Congratulations on this exciting win!
