FOUNDATION CHARTER

Europe at the end of the 20th century is imbued with ideas of integration and pan Europeanism. European culture, with civil and architectural engineering as an integral element has an unbroken history reaching back thousands of years. European history can provide a solid cultural and spiritual foundation on which to build the future Europe. A precondition for a successful development is the removal of barriers which have arisen in recent times. It is also essential to create new expressions of European feeling and European life. The free flow of information should be facilitated, as should the broad exchange of cultural and scientific achievements among all the nations of Europe. An attempt must be made to create a set of values which will lead to political, cultural, and economic coexistence among nations.

To fulfil these ideas and to establish conditions for close cooperation and transfer of technologies among civil engineering faculties, their research workers, teachers and students, among civil engineering specialists and institutions from difFerent countries, we have decided to found the Association of European Civil Engineering Faculties with the participation of civil engineering faculties from non European countries.

The undersigned representatives of the listed Universities certify that they will become regular members of the Association and that they will abide by the terms of the statute.
