A Brief History
Dedicated to Continuing Education
Since 1980
It all started in 1980, when Dr Birgit E. Jacobson, at the
time associate professor in materials science, had returned to
Sweden after four years as senior research associate at Stanford
University. She brought with her an awareness of the need of the
academic researcher and the active engineer to share an educational
arena where state-of-the-art discussions could take place, a forum
that would facilitate the fruitful interplay that results from
discussions with compeers. That insight formed the underpinnings of
Continuing Education Institute-Europe, shortened CEI-Europe, a
company committed to the transfer of high tech knowledge.
Handpicked Instructors
CEI-Europe is not just another company active in the educational
field. The personal commitment of the CEI-Europe staff and
dedicated associates has resulted in the high standard of
handpicked instructors from universities and high tech enterprises
throughout the industrialized world. This is also reflected in the
fact that so many very busy professionals continually return to
instruct at CEI-Europe courses.
Outstanding Education
In 2001, The University of Cambridge in England honored
Dr. Jacobson with a By-Fellowship endowed by the Møller Center
for Continuing Education and Churchill College. The Fellowship was
awarded for outstanding contributions to international learning in
advanced technology and recognizes Dr. Jacobson's educational
initiatives and their advancement of avant-garde knowledge within
the global scientific community. Not long after, in May 2003,
Dr. Birgit E. Jacobson was elevated to Honorary Doctor by
Chalmers University of Technology, in Gothenburg, Sweden, for
outstanding achievements in the field of international scientific
education.
