Petrus Communications is a multi-award-winning international agency that specialises in linking our clients – engineering and business employers – with students and the global education community. Kirsten founded Petrus in France in 2005 and now leads a team of 30 research, communication and digital communication experts creating and implementing projects world-wide.

In partnership with the GEDC, Petrus has created the Industry Forum, which brings together leading engineering and technology employers and deans from around the world for dialogue, to network, and to share knowledge and good practice, developing the next generation of engineering experts and leaders. The 3 editions to-date of this invitation-only, highly interactive event have addressed themes such as developing socially conscious engineering and tech graduates for the future, building trust and authentic, inclusive communication skills as well as strategies to improve cross border, open-innovation through agile university-industry collaboration.
