The International Engineering and Technology Institute (IETI), founded in 2015, is a highly influential global academic organization in science, engineering, and technology. As a non-profit, non-political, and non-religious entity, it unites the world’s leading scientists, engineers, and thought leaders to build a global ecosystem for interdisciplinary, cross-domain, and cross-cultural innovation.
IETI has gained official recognition from major international bodies: it was listed in the UNDESA Civil Society Database in February 2022 and became a signatory to UNESCO-led *The Jena Declaration* in March 2024.
Dubbed a "Noah’s Ark of Science," IETI’s membership includes over 100 recipients of top global honors, such as 12 Nobel laureates, 4 Turing Award winners, 2 Fields Medalists, and other distinguished awardees. It also comprises over 700 academicians, university presidents, and research leaders, with a network spanning 6 continents, 100+ countries, and 99% of the world’s leading academic institutions.
IETI operates two key research platforms: the International Research Institute of Economic Management (IRIEM) and the Institute of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (IDSAI), supporting collaboration in economics, management, AI, and computer science.
Annually, it hosts over 10 high-level international conferences (with proceedings indexed in Scopus, EI, and Web of Science). For example, the 54th International IGIP Conference on Engineering Education will be held in Budapest in 2025, alongside summits across North America, South America, and Asia.
IETI also presents globally recognized awards, including the Annual Scientific Award, Green Award, and specialized prizes honoring excellence in various fields.
Rooted in engineering and technology, IETI balances development across natural sciences, social sciences, and emerging disciplines. It is defined by five core traits: non-profit (no fees, purely academic), international (a bridge for global exchange), high-level (led by top laureates), diverse (covering mainstream and cross-disciplines), and sustainable (advocating green development). Through strategic partnerships with leading institutions worldwide, IETI plays a pivotal role in advancing academic excellence and human progress.
The main aim of IETI is to conduct collaborative interdisciplinary science, engineering and technology within its areas of expertise, and to support engineering and technology innovations to meet the needs of society. In addition to traditional science / engineering / technology disciplines, IETI includes financial engineering, financial econometrics, financial statistics, and mathematics, statistics, and social sciences and business. The following is a summary of our IETI objectives:
1-Honoring outstanding experts and scholars in various fields. Electing excellent Professors to be Fellow / Distinguished Fellow, and giving scientific awards to leading experts in the world.
2-Organizing academic activities to promote exchanges between experts and scholars around the world. Inviting experts and scholars from around the world to join international activities.
3-Providing a publishing platform for scholars from all over the world, including international conferences and journals.
4-Offering a free membership/fellowship services for researchers around the world.
