Theme 

The 33rd Civil Engineering Symposium, organized by the study association ConcepT, will take place on February 3th, 2026. This event offers a platform where students and professionals in the field of Civil Engineering can interact, network, and exchange knowledge on this year’s theme: “Engineering the future: pioneering innovation to empower the next generation”

The world of Civil Engineering is constantly evolving. Modern technologies, new generations, and innovative structures, solutions, and methods require the field not only to keep pace with these changes but also to anticipate and even lead them. This is what we call Engineering the Future: not merely following transitions, but creating them. To achieve this, we must try, fail, improve, and manage – again and again – until we reach the point where we can truly shape the world of tomorrow. In short: Pioneering innovation to empower the next generation.
