The Association of European Civil Engineering Faculties with the participation of civil engineering faculties from non-European countries (AECEF) was founded under the initiative of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague on 14th September 1992.
The main goals of the Association are:
- to enhance conditions for close co-operation among Civil Engineering faculties, their research workers and teachers, among civil engineering specialists and institutions from different countries.
- pecial importance is attached to involving all European countries in this cooperation, and to the establishment and maintenance of an inter-European network of colleagues within civil engineering,
to contribute to dissemination and application of the latest civil engineering research and teaching methodology,
- to support the Europe-wide development and spread of new technologies relevant to the field of activity of AECEF,
- to work toward compatibility among Civil Engineering educational organisations in order to facilitate and ease the exchange of students and the mutual acceptance of graduates in civil engineering practice in Europe,
- to work toward the implementation of study and lecture visits to foreign universities by students, educators and researchers,
- to cooperate and support links with other regional/national Civil Engineering associations having similar objectives.
To date, 22 Universities and 3 individuals from 17 countries are members of the Association (Belarus, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Slovak Republic, and United Kingdom).
The 9th AECEF symposium will be organized in Prague on November 14th, 2017 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the AECEF foundation.
The 9th AECEF General Assembly will also be held as a part of the Symposium.
In 2017, the Czech Technical University in Prague also commemorates the 310th anniversary of its establishment.
We kindly invite you to participate in this festive event and look forward to seeing in Prague in November.
