VISION

We establish connections between the young and talented future engineers, the institutions providing knowledge and education for them, and the business companies that will employ them, so that there will be greater numbers working in the fields of engineering and natural sciences and that these participants will realise their ideas in the most successful manner possible.

MISSION

“Let us cooperate in order to make engineering an enticing profession again!” The members of the Alliance understand that only by mutual cooperation and understanding will they be able to promote engineering and natural sciences, to represent the beauty and values of an engineer’s life, and to nurture a future generation of engineers.

Strategic Goals

  • To improve the social prestige of the engineering profession in order to represent the interests of secondary school education, tertiary education, and also the economic players.
  • To adjust education and vocational training to the needs of a market economy.
  • To develop and support the economy in the areas where educational alliances are active.
  • To create, develop and strengthen a properly trained workforce.
  • To transmit and coordinate demands and expectations from the economy towards educational institutions.
