WFEO is the world wide leader of the engineering profession and co-operates with national and other international professional institutions in developing and applying engineering to the benefit of humanity. Founded in 1968 by a group of regional and national engineering organisations, under the auspices of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) in Paris, the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO) is a non-governmental international organisation that brings together national engineering organisations from over 80 nations and represents some 8,000,000 engineers from around the world.

The objects for which the Federation is hereby constituted are to encourage the application of technical progress to economic and social advancement throughout the world; to advance engineering as a profession in the interest of all people; to foster peace throughout the world, and for these purposes:

• to foster co-operation between engineering organisations one with another, and between engineering and other organisations;

• to foster engineering education and training;

• to encourage the exchange of engineering information;

• to encourage the formation and to foster the activities of national and international associations of engineers;

• to encourage the freedom of movement of engineers between different countries;

• to sponsor scientific and engineering meetings, symposia, congresses and the like;

• to undertake special projects relating to the professional interests of members of the Federation;

• to promote, sponsor and otherwise actively encase in engineering activities that particularly benefit the public welfare such as sustainable development, protection of the environment, and the reduction of man made and natural hazards and disasters.

• to safeguard the public at all times in matters of health and safety;

• to co-operate with governmental and non-governmental organisations and

• to do all other things incidental and conducive to the attainment of the objects of the Federation.
