Join us at the ISEE conference to explore how civil engineers, architects, and materials scientists can become climate heroes in the face of global challenges. Discover the urgent need for a new generation of engineers equipped to tackle urbanization and climate change in Africa and beyond. Let's innovate, educate, and create a sustainable upward spiral for our planet's future together.

BackgroundISEE conference objectives Africa’s next generation has a tremendous potential to change the world. However, educational units and teachers are not equipped with tools to adequately teach the messages. In addition, often administrations and teachers put focus on content rather than on inspiration and global awareness. Introduction to ISEE conference
