Divin-Luc Bikubanya
Divin-Luc Bikubanya is a citizen of the Democratic Republic of Congo. He was born in the province of South Kivu, in the city of Bukavu, in the Eastern part of the country, which has been known for massacres and wars for three decades now. It is in this environment that he grew up, pursuing his university studies at the Catholic University of Bukavu (UCB, where he obtained his bachelor’s degree in 2017) in the field of Rural Economy.
With this background, he first engaged in research in the mining sector by joining the Centre d’Expertise en Gestion Minière (CEGEMI) of the UCB in 2018, which predisposed him to pursue, in 2020, a master’s degree at the Institute for Development Policy of the University of Antwerp in Belgium, where he graduated in September 2021. He specialized in the field of Globalisation and Development, discussing for his master’s dissertation decent work conditions in the mines in the East of his country, that have become the focus of scientific research.
