_________________________________________________________
Prof. Dr. Ahmed Ennaoui was born and grew up in south Morocco. He obtained his MSc and Doctoral thesis in Solid State Electronic from โUniversity de Bourgogneโ, France. He began his career as assoc. Professor in 1979 at University Mohamed V and joined the Hahn-Meitner Institute-Berlin (HMI) in 1983 for conducting research for his Habilitation. In April 1987, he obtained his habilitation (summa cum laude) on new earth abundant materials for solar energy conversion. In 2000, he was appointed head of a research group in the Institute for Heterogeneous Material Systems at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) for materials and energy. He serves as visiting professor at the Research Center for Solar Energy Chemistry Osaka University, Japan, and Research Director at Qatar Environmental and Energy Research Institute (QEERI) and Joint Professor at Hamad Bin Khalifa University (2015-2017). Ennaouiโs published mostly on transition metal chalcogenide, binary and ternary thin film solar cells. Recently he conducted research on inkjet printed thin film solar cells, and PV soiling solution.
His work has been recognized with h-index 50. He is an author and co-author of more than 300 peer-reviewed journal articles and conference contributions, including five special issues. He granted several patents on alternative materials and High efficiency Cadmium free chalcopyrite solar cells. During his career he supervised more than 40 completed theses and ca. 15 Postdoctoral have worked in his group. He was listed by Stanford University as one of the top 2% of researchers in the world Out of 224,856 researchers in applied physics ranked by the prestigious American university and as per AD Scientific Index, his Morocco Country rank is among the top 2%. Ennaoui has contributed to the development of renewable energies by following the completion of IRESEN’s research and development projects, by organizing international conferences in Morocco on green energies and through the virtual university of which he is the founder. He serves as Editorial Board for the journal Solar energy materials and solar cells (Elsevier), IEEE senior member.

Ladies and Gentlemen
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the various program committees, partners and friends for their intellectual commitment to the Virtual University of Learning. As you are aware, the COVID-19 pandemic in the world has affected all aspects of our society and our educational system has undergone tremendous changes. This is how the Virtual University of Learning was born and developed to achieve the democratization of education where education is transferred to every citizen wherever and whenever he wants. Based on our experience and interest in education, including research and development, we are ready to build new structures and practices that will last beyond the pandemic and show how this university will benefit students in the future. We have envisioned our university based on our interest in green technologies and sustainable development, exploring what is essential to strengthen R&D for meaningful improvements and innovations in our educational system with new knowledge and skills with the goal of obtaining very specific training and skills to prepare a new generation for new jobs, which will solve emerging problems related to sustainable development, renewable energy. Our philosophy is based mainly on the principle of flexibility to provide learners with the necessary skills and allow them to decide what they want to learn, why, how and when. We want to train active, responsible and committed citizens, it is a shared responsibility to seize opportunities and find solutions.
The work you do is very important.

Water treatment and reuse can play a crucial role in solving water shortages. We are delighted to welcome Dr. Saad Jasim for a webinar tomorrow. Saad introduced ozone to the drinking water of Windsor (a city in southwestern Ontario, Canada) in 2001, when he was Director of Water Quality and Production at the Windsor Utilities Commission. Since then, the City of Windsor has repeatedly won the Best Water Award in a competition organized by the Ontario Water Works Association. In 2004, Saad Jasim designed an ozone system in Leamington for a 14-acre greenhouse, which recycled over 25,000 gallons of wastewater. Saad Jasim is a board member of the International Ozone Association and past president of the International Ozone Association-Pan American Group. In 2010, he served as President of the Ontario Water Works Association Chapter of the American Water Works Association.
