The Gavriel Salvendy International Symposium Series on Frontiers in Industrial Engineering (GSIS-FIE)

The Symposium is a continuous, collaborative creation process with internal and external colleagues designed to provide dialogue and inspiration about the profession's evolution and impacts.

As part of this effort, the Gavriel Salvendy International Symposium on Frontiers in IE is organized to invite a select group of leading experts, IE and non-IE, to focus on one visionary theme of significant promise.  

The symposium is partly sponsored by Professor Emeritus Gavriel Salvendy, a professor at Purdue's School of Industrial Engineering from 1971 until his retirement in 2008. It is a tribute to his many contributions to industrial engineering. A National Academy of Engineering member, Salvendy has also been a Founding Chair Professor and Department Head at Tsinghua University, has published over 500 research publications, and has authored/edited over 40 books. Among his many awards, he received the John Fritz Medal, the engineering profession’s highest award for his "fundamental international and seminal leadership and technical contributions to human engineering and industrial engineering education, theory, and practice".
