EDU ABCM - Capacity Building on Student-Centered Energy Education; The second physical meeting in Mauritius and Courtesy Visit at UoM
The EDU ABCM project, entitled "Capacity Building on Student-Centered Energy Education," is an international initiative led by Associate Professor Dr. Eng. Pratima Khadoo from the University of Mauritius. This project aims to modernize and transform education in the energy sector, with a strong focus on sustainability and student-centered learning approaches. It operates under the framework of the Erasmus+ program and is funded by the European Commission. Spanning from 2023 to 2026, the EDU ABCM project brings together universities from four African countries and European partners to advance energy education and sustainable development.
The University of Mauritius serves as the project coordinator, representing Mauritius in this collaborative effort. Eight universities across Cameroon, Ethiopia, Mauritius, and Mozambique are part of this initiative. In addition, the project involves two European universities from Italy and Sweden, which provide expertise and support to ensure the project's success. This collaboration aims to enhance the capacity and capabilities of the participating African institutions by modernizing their academic programs and aligning them with global standards.
One of the project's key objectives is to modernize the curricula of the participating universities. By incorporating cutting-edge knowledge and technologies, the project seeks to equip students with the skills needed to address energy challenges in their respective countries.
The collaboration between African and European universities is a cornerstone of the EDU ABCM project. European partners bring advanced expertise in energy education, research, and innovation, which serves as a valuable resource for African institutions. This exchange of knowledge and practices enables the participating universities to develop tailored programs that address local challenges while adhering to international standards. Furthermore, the project fosters a spirit of cooperation and mutual learning among the partner institutions, contributing to the overall advancement of higher education in Africa.
The first physical meeting was held in Sweden from 9th to 13th June 2025. The second physical meeting has been held in Mauritius from 19th to 24th February 2026. A courtesy meeting was scheduled on 23rd February in the Council and Senate Room with all the delegates and the Acting Vice Chancellor, Prof M I Santally.

University of Mauritius: Empowering minds for a bright future
The University of Mauritius serves as the project's "Coordinator," and eight universities from four African nations—Cameroon, Ethiopia, Mauritius, and Mozambique—are involved. The Open University of Mauritius in Mauritius, the University of BUEA in Cameroon, the University of Douala in Cameroon, DEBRE BERHAN UNIVERSITY in Ethiopia, Bahir Dar University in Ethiopia, the University of Eduardo Mondellane in Mozambique, the University of Save in Mozambique, the Università degli Studi di Genova in Italy, and KUNGLIGA TEKNISKA HOEGSKOLAN university in Sweden are among the numerous universities that are the Co-beneficiaries. With an emphasis on the broad perspectives of the circular economy towards energy sustainability, these universities will gain from the modernization of their energy-related courses and programs. Two previous successful Erasmus+ Capacity Building initiatives in higher education served as the impetus for this partnership.
In addition to creating and implementing certain new courses and programs tailored to the local requirements in the partner nations, it will reuse the framework and educational resources created from these projects. By implementing a student-centered flipped classroom approach where innovation and entrepreneurship play a major role, the courses and programs that will be designed will improve the partner universities' modernization process. Since all of the content is created in digital online format, it can be read even in remote locations. It can be used as standalone modules for personal learning trips or as part of a formal academic study program. Throughout the project, the partners will exchange learning materials and courses, and they will carry out common implementation.
The updated curricula introduce business scenarios and global issues pertaining to the UN Sustainability Goals, with a focus on global greenhouse gas reduction. Each partner HEI will implement a university-wide "Challenge" course to facilitate interaction between and among students from various academic fields. By the project's conclusion, the partner universities will have convincingly shown—in a quantifiable and scalable manner—that it is feasible to work together on energy-related educational materials from a global standpoint, to co-create and reuse content from other nations, to enhance the content, to modify it for local conditions, and to establish an international collaboration.
