EUROPEAN CIVIL/CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT (ECEM/ECM)

The “European Civil Engineering Management (ECEM)” curriculum was established in 1992 through the collaboration of four senior higher education institutions. Three of these founding partners were based in European Union member states—Oldenburg (Germany), Groningen (the Netherlands), and Wolverhampton (United Kingdom)—while one partner institution originated from a Central and Eastern European country, namely Szczecin (Poland). Since its inception, the Ybl Faculty has been an active member of the ECEM university consortium.

The annual meeting of the consortium this year was hosted by the Obuda University Ybl Miklós Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering. The event was scheduled for May 7. The morning program was dedicated to the preparation and delivery of professional presentations, followed by academic discussions. In the afternoon, participants were formally received by the International Directorate of Obuda University. On May 8, attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in the 4th Ybl Conference on the Built Environment.

Participation in these events facilitates engagement with leading partner institutions, fostering the development of joint research initiatives as well as enhancing both student and faculty mobility. These objectives constitute the core mission of the ECEM network.
