The World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development (WED) is an official International day proclaimed in by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). This was based on a proposal from the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO).<\/p>\n

WED is an opportunity to celebrate engineering and the contribution of the world\u2019s engineers for a better, sustainable world. It was celebrated for its fifth time last 4th of March as an international celebration promoting the critical role of engineers and engineering to achieve a better and more sustainable world.<\/p>\n

On this occasion, Ms Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, delivered the message available in this page<\/a>, and UNESCO organized a webinar on 4 March.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme was \u201cEngineering Solutions for a Sustainable World\u201d<\/i> and the main event was celebrated in Lisbon, Portugal, with a conference organized at the Ordem dos Engenheiros<\/a> headquarters on 4 March.<\/p>\n

Celebrations of World Engineering Day 2024 were very successful. The 24hrs Global Stream, Hackathon and other celebration events exceeded 67 million on social media (in terms of holistic potential reaches: all online activities across social media, shares, engagements, comments, views, hashtags and impressions), almost 10 million more than last year !<\/p>\n

The 24hrs Global Stream, composed of 37 videos from 21 partners, has more than 29,000 viewers, making it one of the largest engineering events held in the world in 2024.<\/p>\n
