Engineers Australia and Engineers Without Borders are proud to bring you Imagineering: The Humanitarian Engineering Conference 2011. The three-day conference will be held at the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne and will encapsulate many of the activities that have taken place during 2011 - the Year of Humanitarian Engineering (YoHE).
Over the three days of conference, delegates will be taken from the point of understanding the issues surrounding poverty, reconciliation and the role of engineers in attending to these issues to celebrating the current and past activities the engineering sector has undertaken in the areas of disaster, poverty alleviation and capacity building.
Delegates can expect a combination of high quality seminars, workshops and forums surrounding each streams theme, and all building towards the bigger picture of humanitarian engineering, and the humanitarian engineer.
