In July 1999, EAE hosted a summer workshop focused on equipping engineers with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle the challenges of the 21st century. The academy recognized the evolving demands placed on engineers in a rapidly changing world.
 
The workshop covered a wide range of topics, including digitalization, sustainability, and emerging technologies. Engineers and experts from various fields collaborated to provide valuable insights and hands-on training, ensuring that engineers were well-prepared for the complexities of the new millennium.
