We are defining Peace Engineering as the application of science and engineering principles to promote and support peace. Peace Engineering envisions and works towards a world where prosperity, sustainability, social equity, entrepreneurship, transparency, community voice and engagement, and a culture of quality thrive. Engineers have the power to play a vital role in delivering creative solutions that can radically transform and improve human and natural wellbeing.
At the core of Peace Engineering is our planet’s sustainable future, which is calling its leaders to act in concert. We must actively develop solutions by collaboratively addressing known problems, integrating transdisciplinary education programs, technology, ethics, empathy and policy – all based around the language of technology. The biggest asset in a business is the human capital and we must all contribute to the development of the next generation leaders. |
We should create a movement and you should be part of that with ownership and sense of belonging. Help us expand the concept of Peace Engineering and we invite you to propose a process using technology to tackle a solution.
