About the event
The JIE and UTech/FENC National Resilience Symposium 2026, themed “Engineering Jamaica's Future: Building Resilience through Collaboration,” is a transformative two-day hybrid event jointly hosted by the Jamaica Institution of Engineers (JIE) and the Faculty of Engineering and Computing (FENC) at the University of Technology, Jamaica. Prompted by the destructive impact of Hurricane Melissa, this symposium aims to establish Jamaica as a global example of disaster resilience by encouraging partnerships among engineers, academia, the private sector, regulators, government, youth, and civil society.
