In November 2019, UNESCO proclaimed the World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development (WED) at its 40th General Conference. It is celebrated worldwide on March 4 each year since 2020.
Since then, WFEO has co-led with UNESCO the annual World Engineer’s Day celebrations on March 4, federating the initiatives and events organized by its hundred or so member institutions, and organizing a major event each post-Covid year (in 2022 in Costa Rica, in 2023 in Spain, in 2024 in Portugal and in 2025 in Paris, at the UNESCO Headquarters).
In 2026, the major event will be held in Jakarta, hosted by our National Member for Indonesia, the Institution Engineers Indonesia (PII).
The event will give the floor to leading governmental, scientific and entrepreneurial figures, to illustrate the diversity of issues and contributions linking the engineering profession to the United Nations’ sustainable development goals.
More information, including the detailed programme, will be available soon.
