Engineers Europe Annual Business Meetings 2025

Dear Members of ENGINEERS EUROPE!

We have - in our European-wide network of 33 countries - the long established practice of coming together at least once per year in person.

Hence, I hope to have - also on behalf of the Secretary General and the entire Board - the pleasure to meeting you all at the upcoming ENGINEERS EUROPE National Member Forum 2025 and General Assembly 2025 in the lively and attractive City of Zurich, Switzerland. The formal invitations and agendas of both venues will be provided by our Secretary General in due course.

If not anyhow, then latest though the Covid pandemia, we have all realized the value of bringing people physically together, at least occasionally. This, in order to deepen relations and address issues of common interest, while spending time together in formal meetings as well as in informal gatherings.

My personal and special Thanks therefore go to our Swiss colleagues and the Swiss National Committee, who have volunteered to welcoming all of us to Zurich in May 2025 and I sincerely hope to seeing you all there to meet and (re-)connect.

Best regards

Ralph Appel - President
