2022 is already well underway when I write these lines. As the hope of seeing the health crisis fade away to return to a more natural way of life, another crisis erupts with equally deadly and devastating potential for the world. In the face of these situations that seem to us beyond our control, it may be legitimate to question the relevance and contribution of the 3S&E Network.

The 3S&E Network Annual General Meeting was held on May 20. The directors shared with the members present the activities carried out during the past year. Among the major achievements was the creation of an advisory committee with a mandate to accompany and guide directors in their strategic thinking. You will find a copy of the presentation made to the members present under the “About Us – Documents” tab.

Throughout 2019, discussions began between the 3S&E Network, CECI (the Center for International Studies and Cooperation) and the ISMBG (the Boké Institute of Mines and Geology) in Guinea.
