Since 1847 — engineering towards 2047

On Wednesday 10 March 2027, the Day of the Engineer will take place at Eindhoven University of Technology. This year’s event will centre on the theme ‘Since 1847 — Engineering toward 2047’, as we celebrate KIVI’s 180th anniversary. Building on 180 years of engineering, the conference looks ahead to the engineering profession of 2047. Four themes will shape the day: security and sovereignty; where the Netherlands needs to invest now; the role of engineers in policy and politics; and the impact of AI.
