The sustainable and smart COP 25 Torch, “Light Us”, “made in UEMF”, has arrived safely

Sustainable development- The Euromed University of Fes welcomed the association MIPAI - The Mediterranean Intelligence and Public Affairs Institute - on its eco-campus during its stopover in the city of Fez.

Arriving in Tesla electric cars, the “Light Us” caravan was warmly welcomed by the Euromed University of Fes community. Upon arrival, the crew members were received by the University Vice-President, the faculty and administrative staff, as well as the students, all proud and happy to host the convoy. For his part, the President of the Association (MIPAI), Ayoub Makhloufi, expressed his enthusiasm for this noble cause aimed at raising awareness about sustainable development, carried both by his association and by the Euromed University of Fes.

The photovoltaic torch that will mark the symbolic transition from COP 24 (Katowice, Poland) to COP 25 (Santiago, Chile) was manufactured in the university's additive manufacturing and 3D printing laboratories with the help of Professor Sébastien Vaudreuil, a researcher-teacher at UEMF. Today, this torch, which combines artificial intelligence and sustainability, has become a powerful and meaningful universal symbol. Proudly bearing the colors of the Moroccan flag upon the arrival of the “Light Us” crew on national soil, it unmistakably recalls the intention of its creators Zacharia Saha and Ayoub Makhloufi, young Franco-Moroccans, to highlight the importance of the sustainable development goals for saving the planet.

As a reminder, the “Light Us” project is COP22-labeled and supported, among others, by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM), the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad (CCME), MEDEF, CGPME, CGEM and IRESEN. The MIPAI team will be hosted at COP25 in the presence of Polish, Chilean and Moroccan authorities.
