EUREL was founded in Switzerland in 1972 as the Convention of National Societies of Electrical Engineers of Western Europe before it started its expansion to central Europe.
Its objectives are to facilitate the exchange of information and to foster a wider dissemination of scientific, technical and related knowledge relevant to electrical engineering as well as standardization in the field of electrical engineering. In this way EUREL contributes to the advancement of scientific and technical knowledge for the benefit of the profession and the public it serves.
EUREL also addresses the issues resulting from the current shortage of information and communications technology engineers (which is expected to reach an alarming level within the next years) by engaging with students and young professionals.
The secretary general's office, in Brussels, helps EUREL members position their expertise and connection to the European institutions. It also creates a bridge in between its members' associations who can exchange information about best practices and be inspired by their peers.
