In November 2024, representatives from Engineers Without Borders organisations from across the world will converge for a landmark Global Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This unique event will provide a crucial opportunity for leaders within and outside of the international EWB network to identify actionable impact initiatives for the global Engineers Without Borders movement.
The summit will bring together the leading edge of strategy and action in the following sectors:
- Critical infrastructure for underserved communities
- Research and innovation for relevant engineering solutions
- Building engineering capacity
- Building the global EWB network as a powerful force
The timing of the event is notable, as 2024 signifies the halfway mark to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With 37% of goals stagnated or even regressing, there has never been a more urgent need for united priorities actioned through global collaboration and pooled resourcing.
António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations
The Engineers Without Borders movement reaches thousands of lives every year delivering critical infrastructure to communities in need; supporting people in crisis; inspiring, building and shaping a future fit engineering community and nurturing future fit engineering solutions. The three day event will provide a platform for all national organisations to explore the means and methods of collaboratively delivering and influencing the infrastructure, research and innovation, and human capacity needed to achieve a future where all people and the planet can thrive in the decades ahead.
