The Hague Summer Institute on Peace Engineering Public Event

Peace Innovation Lab at Stanford

<H2>A PROFESSIONAL DEGREE IN PEACE ENGINEERING? </H2>
What if you could make great contributions to society, within governments, developing countries, and crisis situations, but still have the prestige, pay and promising career options that come with a professional engineering degree?
The same way you can get a degree in Aeronautical, Civil or Electrical Engineering, imagine if you could build a career in Peace Engineering. 
In 2017, The World Engineering Education Forum, the Global Engineering Deans Council, and the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies decided this needed to become the new reality. The next year,  they hosted the first-ever Peace Engineering Conference, where Drexel University, the University of Colorado-Boulder, the Peace Innovation Lab at Stanford, the University of New Mexico, and SensorComm Technologies were tasked to form the Peace Engineering Consortium. 
Their mission? To apply science and engineering principles, and trans-disciplinary systems-level thinking, to establish rigorous design principles and processes that directly promote and support conditions for peace, while ensuring the safe and ethical deployment of emerging technologies.
During the week of August 19, 2019, the Peace Innovation Institute will convene Consortium members, and a select group of top practitioners and researchers from around the world, for the first Peace Engineering Summer Institute. Hosted by our colleagues from TU Delft and The Hague Humanity Hub, we will lay the foundations of a Peace Engineering degree program that partner universities will be able to offer to their students. 
On the morning of Friday, August the 23rd, you are invited to attend the final session of the first Peace Engineering Summer Institute.  Join us as we present our plan for the future of Peace Engineering, research and education.
