In early February 2000, the European Academy of Engineering (EAE) turned its attention to addressing the aftermath of the Y2K issue, which had been a global concern leading up to the turn of the millennium. This critical event aimed to reflect on the lessons learned from the Y2K challenge and set forth future directions in technology.
EAE's response to the Y2K challenge included in-depth discussions involving experts in software engineering, cybersecurity, and infrastructure resilience. Engineers and technologists collaborated to identify key takeaways from the Y2K experience and chart a course for enhanced preparedness in the face of future technological disruptions.
