AURAK and Leading Global Engineering Body IEEE Firm up Ties to Boost Best Practices
The UAE Section of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world's leading professional organization for advancing technology, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the American University of Ras Al Khaimah (AURAK) to promote best practices, elevate professional standards, and foster collaboration in technical and technological the MoU, both parties will work together to establish a cooperative framework that includes co-hosting conferences and workshops, and expanding opportunities for student engagement and academic IEEE is a globally renowned organization committed to technological innovation and excellence through its publications, conferences, standards development, and educational activities. With over 486,000 members, including 189,000 student members, across more than 190 countries, IEEE represents a powerful global network of engineering and STEM David Schmidt, President of AURAK, said: 'It is an honour for AURAK to partner with the IEEE UAE Section, a distinguished organization recognized worldwide. The importance of electrical and electronics engineering has grown significantly, reflected in the increasing popularity of our programs. This collaboration will allow AURAK to tap into global expertise and advance academic excellence.'The university anticipates a wide range of benefits. These include co-hosting IEEE events, facilitating guest lectures, and organizing workshops and Conferences—initiatives that will enhance AURAK's standing within the engineering education Hussain Al Ahmad, Chair of the IEEE UAE Section, commented: 'As a global community shaping future technologies and standards, IEEE places great value on partnerships with academic institutions. This MoU reflects our commitment to fostering innovation through collaboration. Together with AURAK, we aim to raise the bar in engineering education and cultivate a new generation of forward-thinking electrical and electronics engineers.'Dr. Ali Al Ataby, Chair of the Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering at AURAK, added: 'This partnership with the IEEE UAE Section is a moment of great pride for AURAK. The agreement opens up access to a wide range of IEEE services that will benefit both faculty and students, while also enhancing the university's brand profile. We look forward to a fruitful and impactful collaboration.'Dr. Al Ataby also pointed out that AURAK students would benefit from access to IEEE's extensive resources, including the latest research, technologies, and global events. Participation in IEEE-sponsored conferences, competitions, and workshops will provide students with valuable hands-on experience and boost their career and electronics engineers play a critical role in designing, implementing, and maintaining systems that power everything from communication and automation to transportation and consumer electronics. They are also at the forefront of developing renewable energy technologies, smart grids, energy-efficient devices, and electric vehicle infrastructure—key areas in addressing climate change and driving sustainable development. Globally, demand for electrical and electronics engineers continues to rise. According to recent projections, employment in the field is expected to grow by 9% between 2023 and 2033, significantly faster than the average for all occupations.

$4.3 trillion investment needed by 2030 to sustain global gas demand, Crescent Petroleum CEO tells OPEC leaders
Total investments of USD$4.3 trillion are needed in the coming 5 years to keep up with fast-growing demand for natural gas and make up for a lost decade of underinvestment, Majid Jafar, CEO of Crescent Petroleum, the Middle East's oldest and largest private upstream oil and gas company, told ministers and energy industry leaders in Vienna. The world must invest more to maintain and grow the current energy systems particularly in the developing world where demand is growing fastest, Jafar said in his remarks on the opening day of the 9th OPEC International Seminar.'The world faces a massive energy challenge, with demand set to grow at the fastest pace in decades,' Jafar said. "The era of renewables growing at the expense of other energy sources is over—now, all forms of energy must expand together. We need an 'and, and' strategy: gas, oil, and renewables must all grow to meet surging global needs."Jafar made his comments on a high-level roundtable session titled 'Policies and Regulations: A Just and Realistic Energy Future,' which discussed the need for sound and reliable energy policy with respect to sustainability. He was joined in the session by Tengku Muhammad Taufik the Chief Executive Officer of Petronas; Rovshan Najaf, President of SOCAR; and Francesco La Camera the Director-General of IRENA based in Abu Dhabi. The developing world is where most energy growth will come in the future, Jafar said, because it is where population growth, urbanisation and air condition will require the most new resources. More than 1.2 billion people in the developing world lack access to reliable electricity, a gap that has actually grown in recent years, he said. To meet that demand, the developing world must be enabled to develop its plentiful indigenous natural gas resources, replacing dirtier fuels and delivering cleaner, more reliable power, Jafar said."The 'energy trap' in developing countries leads to more coal burning, undermining both climate and development goals," he said. Demand growth from AI data centres worldwide will further boost demand, requiring the equivalent of Japan's entire power demand by 2030. Data centres driven by AI will require an estimated $720 billion in global grid investment particularly in the West to support the surge in demand, he said.'Reliable, affordable natural gas is a fundamental pillar for a just and equitable energy system which ensures technological progress, economic growth, and societal well-being,' he noted. Just by converting the world's coal power use to natural gas would reduce global emissions by 15%, making a far greater impact than the trillions invested renewables so International Energy Agency estimates that global energy demand grew by 2.2% in 2024, well above average over the past decade, with electric power surging 4.3%, about a third higher than the average. This growth is driven by growing needs in developing countries as well as electrification and digitalisation from the AI revolution, which has grown energy demand in the Western world, after decline for years. In turn natural gas saw the strongest growth in demand among hydrocarbons, rising by 115 billion cubic metres (bcm), amounting to 2.7% in 2024, compared with an average 75 bcm annually over the past decade. The 9th OPEC International Seminar welcomed nearly 1,000 of the highest-level energy sector leaders, including ministers of OPEC member states, senior leaders from the oil and gas industry, policymakers, NGOs and invited guests. The two-day event, held at the historic Hofburg Palace in Vienna under the banner, 'Charting pathways together: the future of global energy' takes place on July 9 and 10. The themes focused on during the seminar included energy security, market stability, sustainability, investments and finance, low-carbon technologies, just energy transitions, energy poverty and diversification.
