Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (
VDI) (English: Association of German Engineers) is an organization of about 135,000
engineers and natural scientists. More than 12,000 honorary experts process the latest technical findings each year to promote the technology location. Established in 1856, it is the largest engineering association in Western
Europe.
Its role in
Germany is comparable to that of the
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in the
United States or
Engineers Australia (EA) in
Australia, but includes broader field work. It is not a union, but promotes the advancement of technology and represents the interests of engineers and engineering businesses in Germany.
