Shaping the Future of Engineering Education in Direct Dialogue with Industry

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 offers a high-level forum for strategic dialogue on the future of engineering education, with a strong focus on leadership, governance, and institutional development.

Why attend ECED 2026

ECED 2026 will address one of the key challenges for European higher education: how to navigate the transition towards circular, digital, and human-centric futures.
The programme is built around dialogue and decision-making — combining industry perspectives, institutional leadership, and interactive formats to support concrete change at faculty and university level.

The convention is specifically designed for engineering deans and senior academic leaders responsible for shaping institutional strategy.
Participation offers a direct opportunity to engage with peers and industry partners on decisions shaping the future of engineering education in Europe.
