The 7th annual IDEEA Forum will conclude in July 2025 at Hongik University in Seoul, South Korea, with the final presentations. This event signifies the highlight of the international Global Collaborative Engineering (GCE) course, which involves students from diverse international backgrounds. 

An international project with real challenges 

The course features an international project with hands-on challenges where participants work online in interdisciplinary and international teams over several months. They address real-world problems, conduct market research, and develop innovative, technically sound solutions. The program focuses on areas such as sustainable mobility, urban infrastructure, and innovative product development.
 At the end of the course, students present the results of their projects in person to an international audience from academia and industry. The event offers students the opportunity to receive valuable feedback from experts in the field and to build new contacts.

Hongik University – Creativity and Innovation in the Heart of Seoul 

For the participating students, the IDEEA Forum in Seoul will not only be a professional enrichment, but also a unique cultural experience. The combination of intensive project work, international contacts and experiencing one of the most exciting cities in the world makes this course a special highlight of their studies.

We are looking forward to a great project finish in Seoul with all the participants and would like to thank the Hongik University for their hospitality.
