Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC) Industry Forum

Engineering and technology leaders from the private sector and education reflected together on lessons learned over the challenging past 18 months. We explored how universities, companies and our stakeholders can work better together to prepare for and pre-empt the global challenges that lie ahead around topics such as ‘Embedding Sustainability in Engineering Education’, ‘Virtual Labs and Collaboration’ and ‘The Engineer of the Future’.

#TeamPetrus

We welcomed 3 interns to the team thanks to our partnership with IAESTE. Claudia, Nirav and Gaby gained valuable experience as part of The Global Learning Expedition and GEDC Industry Forum. We also celebrated two well deserved #TeamPetrus promotions with Stefan Moroeanu becoming a Digital Specialist within our Design and Digital team and Dominic Sproston progressing to Senior Account Manager within the Campaigns team.

Wow, what a year! I feel grateful for the trust and confidence placed in us by companies, organisations, universities and students world-wide. I’m also extremely thankful to have such a great team of professionals who work so hard with me to bring our projects to life. And I’m genuinely excited for everything we’re planning for 2022 – until then, enjoy a happy and healthy festive season!
