Agile engineering education: Developing the next generation of engineering innovators, experts and leaders for our ever-evolving world.

The GEDC Industry Forum brings together engineering education leaders from around the world with senior executives from leading industrial and technology companies in a unique, interactive format. From socially conscious engineering to ethics, micro-credentials to rapid innovation, the themes and content will reflect the most important issues of the moment, allowing participants to design the way forward together. This event is designed specifically for Engineering Deans, Department Heads and equivalents to interact with peers and industry leaders. We encourage relevant EPC members to consider this opportunity to engage and share best practise within a global community. Find out more and request an invitation.

The Annual Conference this year is planned (COVID permitting) as an in-person event on Thursday 18th November (all day, including evening dinner) and Friday 19th November (morning, and lunch) on the theme of ‘Civil Engineering – Leading Sustainable Change’. Speakers from industry and academia will inform a debate between the participants over the two days about the nature of the climate emergency that we face and the best ways in which we can prepare our graduates to contribute to its mitigation.
