Celebration of the 2016 summer solstice at Bou Ismail
On the occasion of the 2016 summer solstice, the Renewable Energy Development Center (CDER) organised a ceremony for the promotion of scientific and industrial production, Tuesday JUne 21st, 2016 at its Solar Equipment Development Unit (UDES) at Bou Ismail. THe ceremony was the opportunity, as traditionnally made, to honor the best scientific productions and acheivements locally speaking.

In his openng word, Professor Sahraoui, representing Professor Hafid Aourag General Director of Scientific Research and Technological Development, highlighted the undermeaning of "change" that the summer soltice vehicles in renewable energies field. Prorfessor Sahraoui announced in his speech the emergence of a new thinking around the new "Strategic" centers in scientific research.

During this day, the Director of CDER, Professor Noureddine Yassaa presented the new strategic action plan of the center by 2020 aiming to follow up the national programme for renewable energy development and energy efficiency.

The price of the 2016 summer solstice of the Renewable Energy Newsletter was awarded to Mr. Bensalam Salah-Eddine of the Renewable Energy Development Center for his qualitative contribution in the Renewable Energy Newsletter published by the center.

The prize of the scientific production quality was awarded to Mr. Omar Behar, and that for his numerous publications during the last five years, and moreover for the citation of its articles in scientific databases.
