The European Convention of Engineering Deans (ECED) is SEFI’s flagship annual event bringing together engineering deans, academic leaders, and key stakeholders from across Europe and beyond.
ECED 2026 will provide a high-level forum for strategic dialogue, exchange of best practices, and reflection on the future of engineering education.
Why attend ECED 2026
ECED 2026 will bring together engineering deans, academic leaders, and industry representatives to address one of the most pressing challenges for European higher education: how to navigate the transition towards circular, digital, and human-centric futures.
The programme is designed around dialogue and decision-making — combining industry perspectives, institutional leadership, and interactive formats to support concrete change at faculty and university level.
Industry at ECED 2026
ECED 2026 places a strong emphasis on industry–academia collaboration, moving beyond general discussion towards real experiences, expectations, and tensions.
