The 30 by 30 initiative was adopted by Engineers Canada in 2014, with the goal of increasing the proportion of newly licensed female-identifying engineers to 30 per cent by the year 2030. The 2025 30 by 30 Conference brought together leaders from engineering regulation, employers, and education to address how they have removed and will remove barriers within their control and influence, collaborate on innovative solutions, and promote accountability for fostering the success of women and marginalized groups in the engineering profession.

ASIIN with support of the Uzbek Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovations hosted the International Conference on Higher Education Innovation and Quality Assurance in Uzbekistan in 2025. This two-day event brought together experts, policymakers, and education experts and innovators from Uzbekistan, Germany, and beyond to explore critical aspects of higher education development. The Accreditation Agency for Study Programmes in Engineering, Informatics, Natural Sciences and Mathematics (ASIIN e.V.) is the primary engineering accreditation organization in Germany.

The Annual CTI conference focused on quality assurance and accreditation of French engineering education. It signals the launch of the years accreditation efforts and includes a range of meetings and speakers related to accreditation.  The 2025 event is focusing on Artificial Intelligence and its impact on quality assurance in the European higher education.  

The Australasian Association for Engineering Education (AAEE) is a professional organization committed to fostering excellence and innovation in engineering education. The 2024 AAEE Annual Conference has the title, "The Engineer and The World," and reflects the International Engineering Alliance’s recognition of the need for future engineers to advance the achievement and sustainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). The UN SDGs form the basis of the themes for AAEE2024, and these themes are interwoven with four learning and teaching topics: innovative pedagogy, learner perspectives, graduate outcomes, and community and industry needs. AAEE2024 will catalyse and inform future innovation and research on integrating more sustainability into engineering education.

The International Conference on Engineering Education and Innovation (ICEEI) is a platform for academic communications, exchange of ideas and inspirations between specialists and scholars in the fields of education and innovation, including hot issues such as vocational education, applied psychology, innovation economy and innovative research. 

The Global Engineering Conference (GECO) offered a platform to facilitate the exchange of cutting-edge knowledge, skills, innovations, and solutions within the diverse engineering disciplines. The 2024 meeting was hosted in Africa, for the first time. The theme was "Engineering Innovations for a Sustainable Future," focusing on the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. The Sustainable Development Goals include SDG11 on sustainable cities and communities, discussions include smart and resilient cities, urban planning, transportation infrastructure, sustainable architecture, and disaster resilience.

To mark the 30th anniversary of its founding, the Hungarian Accreditation Committee hosted a large-scale international professional event to celebrated their jubilee which was attended by many of MAB’s Hungarian and international partners. Events included a review of the role and quality assurance aspects of learning-based approaches to accreditation.

The Inaugural ENAEE European Accreditation Agencies’ Summit took place at the Headquarters of the Order of Engineers in Lisbon. Organised by ENAEE in collaboration with the Order of Engineers, this landmark event brought together leaders from ENAEE member agencies for insightful discussions on advancing engineering education, training and professional accreditation. This first edition of the ENAEE – European Accreditation Agencies’ Summit marked a significant step forward in the mission to elevate engineering education and ensure that future engineers are well-equipped to meet the demands of modern society. ENAEE authorises accreditation and quality assurance agencies to award the EUR-ACE® (EURopean- ACcredited Engineer) label to their accredited engineering degree programmes at the Bachelor and Master level. EUR-ACE® is a framework and accreditation system that provides a set of standards that identifies high-quality engineering degree programmes in Europe and abroad. The summit offered a unique platform for Europe's engineering accreditation agencies to share knowledge, ideas, and best practices, paving the way for future initiatives aimed at improving engineering education in the interests of people, planet and prosperity.

The Myanmar Engineering Council and the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (Committee on Education in Engineering (CEIE) sponsored the International Conference on Engineering Education Accreditation (ICEEA 2023). The Conference deliberations were on the theme “Accelerating the Full Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development at all Levels through Engineering Education”.  ICEEA 2023 was dedicated to exploring the latest trends, innovations, and challenges in engineering education.  Plenary Speakers included representatives from many organizations involved with engineering program accreditation.

The Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh sponsored the Sympositum III with the theme ‘Education Imparts Competencies for Sustainable Development.” The first two installments of the symposium took place in 2019 and 2020 respectively. The two-day program consisted of four technical sessions, two plenary talks, 10 keynote talks, and an open discussion session on the new BAETE Accreditation Manual draft. The discussions delved into changes in the Bangladesh engineering education curriculum and how that will impact accreditation changes in the future. BAETE is a provisional signatory of the Washington Accord.   Abstracts and speaker details are available online.

The 6th African Engineering Conference had the theme “Accelerating Sustainable Infrastructure Development in Africa Together," and was attended by over 600 engineering participants from 21 African countries. Some speakers emphasized the need for development of standards in engineering education.  As an example, the president of the Federal of African Engineering Organizations (FAEO) announced a pilot scheme to create a West African Engineering Professionals Harmonisation and Accreditation Council (WAEPHAC).

The 2022 International Engineering Alliance meeting focused on a range of topics related to accreditation including sessions related to establishing and refining the core roles and key priorities of the IEA as an entity that provides for quality assurance, mutual recognition and mobility within the global engineering profession. Discussions focused on revised Graduate Attributes and Professional Competencies and covered the resulting impacts for signatories/members to the accords and agreements.
