Archimedes Stockholm workshop: Integrating systems engineering into university education and establishing it in academia

Launched in 2022, the Archimedes Initiative is a new collaboration between international Systems Engineering Research Centres, involving SERC, ESI/TNO, DLR (represented by its Institute for SE and future mobility) and KTH (represented by TECoSA and ICES).

You can read more about the Archimedes Initiative in the INCOSE INSIGHT Magazine Dec. 2022 issue.

In June 2023, KTH (TECoSA in collaboration with Digital Futures) is hosting a hybrid workshop “Integrating systems engineering into university education and establishing it in academia”.  All with an interest in this topic are welcome to join.  An overview of the agenda is given below, and you can read more (and register) via the Digital Futures event page: https://www.digitalfutures.kth.se/event/archimedes-stockholm-workshop-13-june/
