Société Européenne pour la Formation des Ingénieurs


The European Society for Engineering Education is the largest organisation for engineering education in Europe. Commonly known as SEFI, an acronym for its French name, Société Européenne pour la Formation des Ingénieurs, it is also known in German as the Europäische Gesellschaft für Ingenieur-Ausbildung. SEFI was founded in Brussels in 1973 and has more than 300 members in 40 countries. It promotes information exchange about current developments in the field of engineering education, between teachers, researchers and students in the various European countries.

Additionally, it develops the cooperation between higher engineering education institutions and promotes cooperation with industry, acting as a link between its members and other scientific and international bodies, in collaboration with other international organisations like its European sister organisation IGIP, the American Society for Engineering Education, and the Board of European Students of Technology.

SEFI is governed by a Board of Directors composed of 21 elected members and members’ representatives, two Vice-Presidents and is presently chaired by President Prof. Martin Vigild, Dean and Senior Vice-President of the Technical University of Denmark.

The working groups, Standing Committees and Task Forces’ activities reflect the mission and goals of SEFI and are directly taking part in the realisation of the aims and objectives of the organisation. The working groups are organised by themes: Open and Online Engineering Education; Engineering Education Research; Curriculum Development; Continuing Engineering Education and Lifelong Learning; Mathematics; Gender and Diversity; Physics and Engineering Education; Ethics in Engineering Education; Attractiveness of Engineering Education; Sustainability and Engineering Education; Quality Assurance and Accreditation.

Workshops and seminars are regularly organized by the working groups and committees on specific themes of engineering education and in the context of SEFI’s priorities. Participation in the working groups is reserved to the members of SEFI.

The SEFI Annual Conferences represent a unique opportunity for the members and all those involved in Engineering Education to meet colleagues, exchange views and opinions and to establish new contacts. The themes of the Conferences reflect the interests of SEFI members.
