The TU Delft and NXTGEN Hightech are organizing a unique global event on systems engineering on October 8 and 9, 2024. The Systems Workforce Summit will take place at TU Delft and will address the future needs of the Systems Engineering discipline. Registration is now open, so make sure you reserve your spot.

This Summit will articulate the context, needs, and actions for growing the needed workforce. It will bring together industrial, academic, and professional organizations, as well as government agencies, to formulate a call for action that could mitigate the shortage of a well-educated and trained systems workforce in the medium term.

Stakeholders

The summit participants are all stakeholders concerned with the planning and execution of complex engineering programs involving environmental, social, economic, political, regulatory, and technological challenges. Cooperation between the diverse organizations participating in this Summit could significantly advance the needed “Workforce of the Future”.

The invited summit attendees (key-note speakers or related to key-note speakers) are personally invited based on their ability to contribute to the event due to their executive responsibilities and influence and/or because they are well positioned to implement the recommendations and “Call for Action” of the Summit in their enterprises and professional environments.

This summit is also open to the public and is interesting for:

• Professionals from various industries: junior, senior or potential systems engineers/systems architects, less or more experienced;
• Scientists of knowledge institutes working in the discipline of systems engineering, management, technology or policy;
• Talents/students from engineering disciplines interested in systems engineering/system thinking. From universities and universities of applied sciences.

Location and Program

This international Summit is convened by Delft University of Technology and is supported by a coalition of Dutch universities and enterprises. The one-and-a-half-day event, with approximately a hundred invited attendees, will be held on October 8 and 9, 2024, in the TU Delft Aula Conference Center. It will feature five themes with keynote presentations and panel discussions by recognized leaders in the fields. These will be brought together in a concluding panel, formulating a “Call for Action” for the global systems community.
