Building on two hugely successful events, the 2019 GEDC Industry Forum took place in Fontainebleau, France from Wednesday 3rd to Friday 5th July 2019. This invitation-only, highly interactive event addressed how to implement high impact, large scale programmes to develop the skills needed in future engineering experts and leaders, exploring the importance of developing trust and open communication skills in the engineering and technology graduates of the future. We also focused on strategies to improve innovation with university-industry collaboration, in particular working across borders.
The delegate feedback was overwhelmingly positive,with 89% of participants ready to join another GEDC Industry Forum.
The Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC) was created on 9th May 2008 in Paris as a recognition of the global need for a world-wide forum of engineering deans and rectors. The main goal of the GEDC is to provide engineering deans and rectors with ideas, tools, and “best practices” necessary to become innovative leaders of engineering education.
