Conferences

Therefore, some of the things we have done in recent years to raise the profile of scientists and engineers in the minds of politicians is having WIF keynote speakers, usually Nobel Laureates, address national and international conferences.







Therefore some of the things we have done in recent years to raise the profile of scientists and engineers in the minds of politicians is having WIF keynote speakers, usually Nobel Laureates, address national and international conferences.

Some of these conferences have included the ‘World Engineering Congress on the Digital Divide’ for the WFEO who represent over 15 million engineers worldwide, the Brazilian national science conference where they have never had a Nobel Laureate address one of their major scientific conference in Brazil before, the international charity KidsRights that looks after the interests of children throughout the world where my good fiends David Ong and Jan Willem Kirpestein their chairman and president respectfully are with us here today. This year we are attending and participating in the annual Conference of the Confederation of Indian Industry and next year the WIF is the co-sponsors and participants in UNESCO’s 5th Global Congress on Engineering Education.

But, as we are overridingly an ‘applied’ institution we do not normally get involved with conferences as our energies we feel are better placed elsewhere.
