We would like to invite you to the ESI Symposium 2025.
The symposium will bring together engineering professionals, industry leaders, and researchers to explore how cutting-edge innovations in systems engineering can reshape the future of technology and society.
The symposium will focus on fostering collaboration, sharing best practices, and driving advancements that elevate engineering to meet the challenges of the modern world.

ACCELERATE THE INNOVATION OF ENGINEERING

Building on insights from the Draghi report, “The Future of European Competitiveness” this year’s ESI symposium highlights the critical role of higher productivity in securing Europe’s competitive edge. Europe’s engineering sector plays a pivotal role in addressing the global demand for sustainable, efficient, and transformative technologies.
By focusing on enhancing research, bridging knowledge gaps, and streamlining collaboration, this event aims to inspire the next wave of engineering breakthroughs.

Join us as we explore this vital theme through various subtopics and insights. We will examine how generative AI and model-based techniques can be utilized to tackle these challenges. This theme builds on our previous focus on managing complexity in cyber-physical systems, which remains an ongoing challenge.
