From 4th to 9th September 2011 the “Worlds Engineers’ Convetion” (WEC 2011) takes place in Geneva. Under the topic “Engineers Power the World – Facing the Global Energy Challenge”, engineers, politics and exponents of research and industries are going to discuss innovative solutions for a endurable handling with energie.
The program includes the seven topics Global Challenges, Education in Engineering, Mobility and Transport, Buildings and Megacities, Powerplants and Networks, Renewable Energy and Storage as well as Rational Enduse and Large Consumers. The WEC 2011 will contribute to make the achievements of engineering more public. An other aim of the convention is to give decision makers an understanding of how important the accomplishments of the engineering branch are. The WEC 2011 is a tribute to the goods and services of the engineering branch, too.
Especially the young generation of engineers should be encouraged to tackle the environmental- and energetically-problems.
On the occasion of the WEC 2011 the „Best Energy Practice Award“ will be conferred. The “World Federation of Engineering Organizations” (WFEO) is planning to advance effective energy-applications and introduce them to the public. An international jury will choose 20 finalists whom’s projects will be presented at the WEC 2011. The first three places are awarded with 30.000$ prize money. Until the 20th of april all projects need to be given in on www.wec2011-award.org. The award ceremony will take place in Geneva.
