The International Institute of Plant Engineering and Design is established in February 2011 as a joint venture between University of Zaragoza (Spain) and Red-Bag (The Netherlands). The purpose and core business of the Institute is to maintain knowledge, experience and provide training for engineering and designers in the process and related industries. The training is focused on piping engineering and design but will expand in the future to the other engineering disciplines such as mechanical equipment, instrumentation, electrical and civil.
