IGIP wants to intensify the international cooperation with other societies dedicated to engineering educations,
such as SEFI, the European Society for Engineering Education, or IFEES The International Federation of Engineering Societies.
By passing the curriculum as proposed by IGIP in any accredited institution worldwide, IGIP states that a given engineering educator with an ING-PAED IGIP title has all the competencies needed to teach at the state of the art with the best available teaching technologies.
IGIP offers also symposia on national and international level, and a Summer School.
IGIP has established working groups on different topics of engineering education.
