World Federation of Engineering Organizations

The World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) is an international non-governmental organization representing the engineering profession worldwide. Founded on 4 March 1968 under the auspices of UNESCO, WFEO brings together national and regional engineering institutions from some 100 nations and represents more than 30 million engineers.

 

WFEO led the proposal to declare 4th March each year as the World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development (WED) and is working with communities around the world to celebrate this day.
