History
In November 2007, a group of young engineers came together to discuss some career, education issues and share concerns among each other. That meeting was the start point of the Caspian Engineers Society. First meetings were unofficial, but in further meetings it was decided to establish a non-profit organization consisting of volunteers which aimed to:
- Support young engineers and scientists to be technically expert in their fields;
- Support industry development in terms of technology and engineering areas;
- Spread out `engineering culture` across the Caspian region, etc.[1]
