This international event will bring together academic leaders, representatives from the productive sector, government authorities, professional associations, faculty members, students, and organizations from various regions of the world. It will provide a conducive environment for the exchange of ideas, experiences, and knowledge that drive transformation through engineering education.

The academic program of WEEF (IFEES & GEDC) 2026 will feature panels, expert dialogues, workshops, technical sessions, and keynote

lectures focused on emerging trends, innovative educational strategies, and the role of engineering in social and economic development. In addition, the forum will continue the flagship activities that have established its relevance in previous editions.

Participation modalities will include the presentation of papers on engineering education, the undergraduate student meeting, dialogues among doctoral programs, and the exhibition of research advancements. These spaces will strengthen international collaboration and promote the development of joint initiatives.

WEEF (IFEES & GEDC) 2026 is envisioned as a strategic platform for fostering relationships among educational institutions, companies, governments, and global organizations, consolidating its position as one of the most influential venues in the field of engineering education.

The WEEF (IFEES & GEDC) will feature the participation of international leaders in the profession, who will contribute to deepening knowledge in various areas of engineering, promote interdisciplinary dialogue, and facilitate the building of cooperative alliances.

IFEES, GEDC, and ACOFI extend a cordial invitation to the global academic community, the business sector, engineering-related professional associations, governments, regional and international organizations, media outlets, and society at large to participate in this gathering that highlights how engineering education drives transformation and contributes to building a better world.
