Registration and Information for the Founding Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC) Executive Committee Meeting - By Invitation Only

One of the strategic initiatives of the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES) is the creation of a worldwide forum for the engineering deans called the Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC). The GEDC idea was first mooted during the IFEES meeting at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on October 9, 2006. The IFEES executive board decided to go forward with the GEDC concept at its September 30, 2007 meeting in Istanbul, Turkey.

On May 8-9, 2008, the Global Engineering Deans Council will hold its first Executive Committee meeting in Paris, France. Co-hosted by Dassault Systemes and Hewlett Packard, the event will convene engineering deans from across the world who have been invited to join the Executive Committee of the Global Engineering Deans Council.
