Welcome to the Switzerland Group

We have over 120 members based in Switzerland supported by an active group committee that was established in 2010

The main aims and goals of the Switzerland group are:

  • Promote the status of the engineering profession within Switzerland 
  • Increase added value to the members based in Switzerland.
  • Organise activities including technical visits, professional development workshops, networking and social events.
  • Provide local support for mentoring and professional reviews.
  • Promote engineering to schools and universities in order to inform, encourage and inspire the next generation.
  • Forge links with other engineering institutions and learned society bodies in Switzerland.

Realising of these ambitious goals hinges on the active support and participation of our membership based in Switzerland. We deeply appreciate your involvement and recognize its pivotal role in achieving our collective objectives. Whether you are an existing member, have recently relocated to Switzerland, or are contemplating joining our Institution, we would certainly like to hear from you.
