Frontiers of Engineering for Development brings together 60 of the best early- and mid-career researchers and practitioners from industry, academia, NGOs and the public sector in multidisciplinary workshops that address fundamental development challenges.

The objectives of these symposia are to encourage collaborative work that addresses international development challenges and promotes cross-disciplinary thinking among the next generation of engineering leaders. Competitively allocated seed funding is available to strengthen the collaborations developed at the symposia.
