SEFI: European Society
for Engineering Education
SEFI numbers 175 institutions as members in 42 countries (July 2008). The
School of Engineering of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki has been
a member of SEFI since 2005 and is represented in the SEFI Administrative
Council elected for the period from October 2006 to October 2009.
SEFI was founded in 1973 as a non-profit organisation under Belgian Law. It is
the largest network of higher education engineering institutions and of individuals
involved in engineering education in Europe. SEFI’s mission is to contribute to
the development and the improvement of engineering education in Europe. SEFI
is the first example of an association directly linking institutions of higher engineering
education. Hence it is independent of national and/or community filters
in establishing its policy, as an international forum for discussing problems and
identifying solutions relating to engineering education.
Aims and Objectives
The aim of the Society is to contribute to the development and improvement
of engineering education in Europe, as well as to the improvement of the position
of both engineering education in society in general and of engineering professionals
in particular.
