IFMIF-DONES once again took part in the Civil Engineering Forum, which held its 9th edition on 5 November at the School of Civil Engineering (ETSICCP) of the University of Granada (UGR). Our colleagues Juan Cantero and Mario Ruiz attended this event, which has become a meeting point between university education and the realities of the professional world.

The Forum brought together more than 30 companies and public administrations, with an excellent turnout of students. It provided an opportunity to share experiences, establish professional contacts and explore internship and employment opportunities. It also offered a platform to discuss the main challenges facing the construction and consultancy sectors, including sustainability, digital transformation, technological innovation, internationalisation and the growing demand for qualified professionals able to address current and future challenges.

Strong ties with the University of Granada

The Forum was officially opened by Germán Martínez Montes, Vice-Rector for Infrastructure and Sustainability, and Mónica López Alonso, Director of the School of Civil Engineering. Esteban Romero Frías, Vice-Rector for Social Innovation, Employability and Entrepreneurship, also took part in the event as part of the UGR Forum of Companies and Institutions, strengthening dialogue between the university, businesses and public administrations on employability.
