Engineer’s Day is observed in Belgium and the Netherlands every third Wednesday of March to celebrate the skills and inventions of engineers. The day honors important contributions such as the tram, JPEG, asphalt, and the Mercator projection, which have significantly impacted daily life. In Belgium, the celebration was initiated by USG Engineering, inspired by Dutch traditions, and includes gatherings for engineers, technical graduates, and job seekers, featuring free participation and enjoyable activities. Companies in Belgium are encouraged to recognize their engineers through various events, ranging from simple breakfasts to team-building activities. In the Netherlands, the day is particularly significant for members of the Royal Institute of Engineers (KIVI), with one of the highlights being the announcement of the Engineer of the Year.
