Invitation to SEFI General Assembly 2024 – for SEFI members

Tuesday, 3 September 2024, 15:30-17:00 CEST



The SEFI General Assembly, exclusive to SEFI members, is the highest statutory body of SEFI organisation. It serves as the primary platform for reviewing the past year's activities, discussing future plans, and managing financial affairs. During this assembly, members also vote on the budget and elect new board members, including the Vice President.

While the official registration period has closed, late registrations are still being accepted until Tuesday, 27 August. Make sure to add this event to your conference agenda.

    SEFI CONFERENCE

    Meet the SEFI Special Interest Groups

    The SEFI Special Interest Groups (SIGs) bring together educators, students, and industry professionals who share common interests in specific areas of engineering education. Their activities include organizing meetings, workshops, seminars, SEFI@work webinars, podcasts, and contributing to position papers and EU projects.

    On Monday, 2 September, in the afternoon, you'll have the chance to explore the SEFI SIGs and participate in their workshops and meetings. If you're interested in joining any of the SIGs, you can express your interest by completing the survey, which is open until 29 August.

      SEFI CONFERENCE

      At the upcoming SEFI Annual Conference in Lausanne, SEFI will launch a new code of conduct for participation in its events. This code was developed by a special committee composed of experts in diversity, equity, inclusion, and ethics. It aims to foster a more welcoming and inclusive environment at all SEFI events. You may download the code of conduct here.

        ANNUAL REPORT

        The SEFI Annual Report takes you on a journey through the past academic year starting at the last SEFI Annual Conference in Dublin. 


        Have a look at past year's activities and achievements before we start another cycle in our organisation's lifetime!
