ACED Conferences and meetings

In a typical year, one of the ACED member departments hosts a 2-day conference open to all, whether academic or industrial, involved in developing and delivering JBM accredited degree programmes. The conference is usually held in October or November.
After a break last year due to the COVID pandemic, we plan to return this year with a 2-day conference on 18^th/19^th November 2021. The conference will be held at Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford campus, and will have the theme ‘Civil Engineering – Leading Sustainable Change’. Further details of this event will be posted at: https://epc.ac.uk/events/aced-annual-conference-2021/.

The other key event of the ACED calendar is the Joint Meeting held each Spring by ACED, ICE and IStructE. Heads of Civil & Structural Engineering Departments are invited to the meeting which is hosted, alternately, by one of the two Engineering Institutions. Presidents of both Institutions are present or represented – they prepare addresses and convene sessions. It was not possible to hold this event this year due to the pandemic, but we hope to return in 2022.

Some of the programmes and presentations from previous years’ events are available below:
