The Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Global Summit is a flagship international gathering that brings together EWB organisations, engineering professionals, students, researchers, and partners from around the world to collaborate, share knowledge, and strengthen collective action for sustainable development and community impact.
I’m not part of the EWB network. Can I still attend?
Yes. For the first time, the Global Summit will open its doors on Friday, 21 May to engineering professionals beyond the EWB network. This dedicated day will provide an opportunity for practitioners, innovators, academics, companies, and development partners to showcase their work, exchange knowledge, explore collaborations, and engage with global leaders using engineering to address society’s most pressing challenges.
Do I need a visa to attend?
Participants are responsible for ensuring they have the appropriate travel documentation and visas required for entry. The Summit organisers can provide invitation letters to support visa applications, and participants are encouraged to begin the process as early as possible.
