Aberdeen, October 2026 – The FuturED Institute continues to expand its international engagement, connecting higher education, industry and public institutions through initiatives that promote innovation, professional development and sustainable growth.
As co-organiser of the IV International Roundtable on Technologies for Sustainability, held on 21 October 2026 in Aberdeen, Scotland, FuturED helped bring together over 30 organisations from academia, the private sector and public institutions, demonstrating the value of cross-sector partnerships in addressing global challenges.
Hosted in one of the United Kingdom’s leading centres for energy, research and technological innovation, the event featured four expert panels with contributions from organisations including the University of Dundee, the Net Zero Technology Centre, Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) and the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA).
For FuturED, the gathering reinforced the importance of connecting academic expertise with industry needs, creating opportunities for executive education, applied knowledge exchange, institutional cooperation and international professional development.
EXPANDING INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
The participation of H.E. Guido J. Martinelli, Ambassador of Panama to the United Kingdom, highlighted opportunities for strengthening cooperation between Europe and Latin America.
