In September 2011, Geneva is becoming a meeting place for international engineering and energy experts. This year’s convention focuses on the global challenges in developing a sustainable energy future. The organizers managed to bring together government representatives, notable politicians and decision makers from research and economy from all parts of the world.
In order to develop a sustainable energy future, collective commitment is needed - by engineering, economy, politics and society. The World Engineers’ Convention 2011 is bringing together decision makers from around the world - including their different perspectives. They will illustrate practical solutions and discuss burning questions. More than 2000 international participants are expected.
