The World Engineering Convention (WEC), 4-8 Sept. 2011, will bring engineers, policy-makers, researchers and industry leaders from around the globe to Geneva, Switzerland around the theme “Engineers Power the World:  Facing The Global Energy Challenge.”  WEC participants will be asked to endorse a statement on behalf of the global engineering community to help inform national and international policy-making on energy and climate change.   In early April, a preliminary report was released with a broad invitation to the engineering community to provide input and comments. A copy of the preliminary report and call for engineering input is available on-line at:  http://www.wec2011.ch/call-from-geneva/.   Comments will be accepted through a special WEC blogsite and by email.
