Brief
IEEE and Bhutan’s government held an Engineering Education, Research, and Innovation Summit on 9–10 June in Paro to discuss workforce-ready curricula, AI in higher education, research infrastructure, and values-driven innovation tied to Gross National Happiness. IEEE offered a six-month trial of its Electronic Library and eLearning Library to Bhutanese universities, government institutions, and industries to support research and teaching development.
Why It Matters
If enacted, the summit’s blueprint and resources could shape how Bhutan aligns technological adoption with sustainability, skills development, and equitable digital access.
