As we transition into a new academic year, I find myself reflecting on an exceptionally vibrant and transformative summer for the European Society for Engineering Education. It has been a season defined by deep collaboration, strategic dialogue, and shared growth. Over the past few months, I have had the privilege of representing SEFI at three pivotal European engineering events, each highlighting a crucial pillar of our mission to advance engineering education.
SEFI is glad to announce the release of its new position paper, Drivers for Lifelong Learning in Engineering Education. The paper underlines the crucial role of lifelong learning (LLL) in equipping engineers with the competences needed to respond to rapid societal, technological, and economic change.
With Europe facing skills shortages that hinder the green and digital transition, the paper calls for universities, employers, and professional organisations to work together in providing meaningful opportunities for continuous development. Lifelong learning is presented as essential not only for engineers but also for educators and all stakeholders in engineering education.
This position paper reaffirms SEFI’s commitment to supporting responsible innovation, advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and strengthening engineering expertise across Europe.
