The Initiative is overseen by the CDIO Council, which consists of the original developers (Chalmers, LiU, and KTH in Sweden, and MIT in the US) and the early collaborators (Technical University of Denmark, Queen's, Belfast; Queen’s, Ontario; The US Naval Academy; and the University of Pretoria). Schools joining the Initiative are accepted as Regional Collaborators and welcomed into the appropriate regional group.
The current regions for the international CDIO community are Africa, Asia, Australia & New Zealand, Europe, Latin America, North America and UK & Ireland. Contact information to each region's leader can be found here.
