Collective for Reimagining
Engineering Innovation (CREI)
About CREI - An engineering initiative
CREI is an informal organization devoted to promoting the rebirth of engineering in India and the world, involving business and industry, public policy, technology, academia and civil society. At this time, membership involves providing basic personal information and constructive participation toward achieving the organisation's goals.
The initial activity of the organization is a periodic (monthly or fortnightly) internet-based seminar in which members and invited guests participate to actively share their ideas, attempts, and results of rejuvenating engineering Globally.
Over time, we expect to add other activities and create groups of people interested in working on various ways of helping the organization achieve its objective of facilitating the development of engineering innovation and leadership in the world.
