“The preservation of the environment is spurring engineers from all over the world into action to find solutions for a more sustainable world. IESF federates alumni associations of French engineering schools and represents them, both on a national level and within international engineering organisations. IESF is already very active in the field thanks to its environmental committee, which published a manifesto in 2018, and its participation in the environmental committee of the World Federation of Engineering Organisations under the auspices of UNESCO. Our wish is to ensure that engineers and scientists continue to be heard by actively participating in the ‘Alumni for the Planet’ initiative.”
