FEANI adds value through:

• The exchange of knowledge and experiences

• It’s a cost-effective link to the EU institutions

• Potential to be the voice of engineers in Europe

• Its products, in particular the INDEX

• Provision of EU information (from the Commission)

• The standardisation of accreditation and benchmarking

• It would be good if FEANI tried to be a general certification organ

• FEANI should have tighter links with NMs

• More virtual participation/online tools and more social media should be available, especially for events and “lectures”

• FEANI should collate data about the engineering profession in a form that is accessible/relevant to employers and authorities, etc.

Eng Card

Comment Trends (number of times mentioned)

August 2015


• Could EUR ING and ENG Card be handled in a different and more cost-effective way?

• FEANI should either merge with ENAEE or treat it totally separately

• Less expansion into former Eastern Europe for now

• FEANI News should be replaced by more activity on the website and on social media.

• The FEANI “package” seems to be well organised, but maybe the balance of topics could be adjusted.

• FEANI ‘should do less itself and do more through a “franchising” agreement with the NMs.

• Could NMs add value through offering services such as creating and monitoring (auditing) benchmarks?

• If FEANI writes position papers, they should not be on technology issues.
