The South European Systems Engineering Tour wraps up in Madrid

The South European Systems Engineering Tour was just held in Paris, Rome and Madrid on 29, 30 and 31 May, which saw three workshops on systems engineering organised by the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE). The purpose of this event is to popularise this branch of knowledge among professionals and to strengthen the ties among the countries visited by the tour.

INCOSE was founded in 1990 to convey the interdisciplinary principles and practices needed to develop systems engineering.
Isdefe was invited to take part in the Madrid workshop, where specific aspects were debated involving the application of and information in the INCOSE’s Multi-level Professional SEP Certification Programme. 

Andrés Cabanillas Estébanez, from Isdefe’s Strategic Consulting and Processes Direction and coordinator of the Systems Engineering Horizons Observatory, part of Isdefe’s Horizons Network, took part with a presentation that spanned the historic bonds between systems engineering and the defence industry. Isdefe, as the in-house technical services provider of Spain’s Ministry of Defence, has considerable experience in systems engineering and its application to weapons procurement regulations.

Andrés also noted the creation of the Systems Engineering Horizons Observatory as part of Isdefe’s Horizons Network. This foresight platform works with the Department of Industrial Sciences and Systems at the University College of Southeast Norway’s School of Technology and Natural and Marine Sciences.
