What is EELISA?

The European Engineering Learning Innovation and Science Alliance (EELISA) is the first alliance of higher education institutions (engineering graduate schools, technical universities and full-spectrum universities) from different European countries to define and implement a common model of the European engineer rooted in society.

EELISA also pays tribute to Elisa Leonida Zamfirescu (1887-1973), the first woman to obtain a degree in engineering in the world.
