Engineering Education for Sustainable Development (EESD 2008)
22 September 2008 - 24 September 2008
Austria
With ever increasing pressure to find sustainable
solutions for global warming, depleted resources like crude oil, utilising limited resources like fertile soil or water and the global fight against poverty and illness, engineering education becomes increasingly relevant for the future of industry.
This is the driving force behind the Engineering Education for Sustainable Development Conference 2008 (EESD 2008) that will be held in Graz (Austria), 22nd to 24th of September, 2008. Delagates from Baltic countries are especially
encourage to attend this event.
The EESD 2008 is the fourth conference in a series of biannual international conferences dealing with all aspects of the education of engineers for sustainable development. Over the years the EESD has developed into the prime platform for the exchange of ideas among industry, academic educators and students who are interested in making future engineers fit for the challenges of sustainable development as well as in transforming universities into sustainable institutions.
The overarching theme of EESD 2008 is „Bridging the
Gap“.
The following topics will be addressed:
• Education and engineering challenges of the 21th
century
• Students, universities and industry
• University and society
• University and regions
• Research community and sustainable development
The call for papers is open until January 31st, 2008.
