Association of Nordic Engineers

Sharing knowledge makes a difference

Promoting interests of Nordic engineers through
cross-organisational cooperation

The Association of Nordic Engineers, ANE is a cooperation organisation between trade unions representing more than 500.000 engineers in the Nordic region. ANE serves as a platform for affliates to share knowhow and generate new ideas. The created knowledge is used for policy influencing in the region, at EU level and globally.
 The primary objective is to promote the attractiveness of STEM education, strengthen the role of engineers in the transition to a sustainable society and advocate for good working conditions for STEM professionals on the labour market.

Policy Areas

AI & Ethics

Across the engineering profession, there is an increasing recognition that in a data driven world, ethical considerations need to be an explicit and integral part of engineering. Our intention is to create fora for engineers to take a more active role in generating the debate on responsible AI.

Skills & competences

Everyone should have the right to continuing professional development in order to maintain and acquire skills to remain in the employment and manage the transition in the labour market. Our objective is to raise awareness of lifelong learning opportunities as an investment in nurturing STEM professionals’ potential.

Sustainability

Engineers play a crucial role in finding the bright solutions for the transition towards sustainable societies,. As a matter of fact, they are a key in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals. Our aim is to promote their expertise and create platforms, where engineers can voice their solutions to politicians or the broader public.

Diversity & Equality

A mix of all types of people and inclusiveness contribute to more robust technical solutions and create a good work environment. Equality and diversity improve STEM and should be regarded as an asset and a competitive advantage for the workplace. Our objective is to promote gender balance and social diversity in STEM education and professions.

Projects

Nordic Engineering Hub

ANE joined forces with the consortium of Nordic Technical Universities to identify changes needed to modernise the engineering education and determine approaches for attracting a more diverse group of students to STEM education, i.e. to improve gender balance and social diversity.
