In response to the signing of the Treaty of Lisbon in 2007, the European Academy of Engineering (EAE) has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing engineering excellence in an evolving European Union. The EAE recognizes the Treaty of Lisbon as a significant milestone in European integration, offering new opportunities and challenges in the field of engineering and technological development.
Aligning with the New EU Vision
The Treaty of Lisbon represents a major step forward in the EU’s journey towards greater cohesion and efficiency. In line with this new vision, the EAE is aligning its objectives and initiatives to contribute effectively to the goals of the EU. This includes focusing on collaborative research projects that span across member states, fostering innovation that aligns with the EU's strategic priorities.
Enhancing Cross-Border Collaboration
The EAE is leveraging the opportunities presented by the Treaty of Lisbon to enhance cross-border collaboration in engineering research and education. By promoting mobility among engineers and researchers across the EU, the EAE aims to foster a more integrated and innovative engineering community.
Supporting Policy Development
In light of the Treaty of Lisbon, the EAE is actively participating in policy dialogues and advisory roles to influence the future of engineering and technology policy within the EU. The Academy’s expertise is instrumental in shaping policies that support research and development, innovation, and sustainable engineering practices.
Educational Initiatives and Workforce Development
The EAE is also adapting its educational initiatives to prepare engineers for the new dynamics brought about by the Treaty of Lisbon. This includes revising curricula to incorporate a broader European perspective, emphasizing skills necessary for working in an increasingly integrated EU, and fostering an understanding of the diverse engineering challenges across different regions.
The signing of the Treaty of Lisbon marks a new chapter in the EU’s history, and the EAE is committed to playing a pivotal role in this era. The Academy is dedicated to ensuring that engineering and technological advancement continue to be at the forefront of building a united and prosperous Europe.
The European Academy of Engineering is a leading institution committed to promoting engineering excellence across Europe. The EAE’s response to the Treaty of Lisbon demonstrates its dedication to advancing the engineering profession in tandem with the European Union’s vision.
