The Council of Engineering Systems Universities (CESUN) was established in 2004 by universities offering educational and research programs in engineering systems. CESUN membership includes more than 50 universities in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The Council provides a mechanism for the member universities to work together developing engineering systems as a new field of study. An overall objective of the Council is to broaden engineering education and practice.
The annual meeting is an opportunity for members to discuss current challenges in engineering systems, opportunities for future research and education in the areas of engineering systems, socio-technical systems, and policy design and governance of complex systems. Besides a number of research talks and plenary sessions, the annual meeting will provide ample opportunity for participants to participate in open or moderated discussions to form a shared vision on such topics.
