It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the 44th Annual conference of the European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI), organised by the Tampere University of Technology, in Finland.

SEFI Annual Conferences have been organised in different parts of Europe and represent  a unique opportunity for  the members of SEFI and all those interested by or involved in engineering education and research to exchange views and opinions, to establish new contacts with peers and other HEE stakeholders. The themes of the conferences reflect the objectives of the Society and the priorities identified by its members. In 2015 the conference was help in Orléans on the theme of “Diversity in Engineering Education: An Opportunity to Face new Trends in Engineering), and in 2017, it will be organised  by ISEP (Porto) in the Azores Islands (19-21 September) on “Education Excellence for Sustainability”.
