INWES is collaborating with WFEO in celebration of World Engineering Day. INWES will be present in the 24 HRS LIVE broadcast and the hackathon.
The World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development was proclaimed by UNESCO at its 40th General Conference in 2019. It is celebrated worldwide on 4th March of each year since 2020 as a UNESCO international day of celebration of engineers and engineering.
The day offers an opportunity to highlight engineers’ and engineering’s achievements in our modern world and improve public understanding of how engineering and technology are central to modern life and sustainable development.
The 4th of March is the founding day of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO), a Federation consisting of hundred national members and international members, representing the engineering society of the world. World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development has been celebrated annually from 2020 onwards. Organizations and offices of the United Nations system, and most importantly, governments, civil society, the public and private sectors, schools, universities, and more generally, citizens, are expected to make the international day a springboard for awareness-raising actions.
