In order to meet modern-day challenges, the Faculty has established a new form of doctoral studies in civil engineering in 2014. Outstanding research work has to be the foundation of doctoral studies as it opens new challenges, but also enables progress of the economy and sustainable development of the society, which is today a top priority.

Therefore, each year in September, under the auspices of the Board for Research & Development, the Faculty organises a PhD Symposium in order to provide the PhD students with the possibility to present their research activities, and to obtain guidance and advice from elder colleagues, postgraduates, mentors, and experts through keynote lectures, workshops, and discussion panels. The objective is to upscale this event for young researchers and bring it to an international level.
