The reason of initiating such a special Symposium was to provide help to the PhD students to be successful with their PhD research
and their PhD defence. The system of PhD Symposium in Civil Engineering has been initiated by the Faculty of Civil Engineering
at the Budapest University of Technology (BME) in 1996. It has been organized every second year at a famous university then.
- Only PhD candidates are allowed to give the presentations and not their supervisors.
- Ample time is given for discussions after every presentation. Discussions are essential parts of these Symposia. In this way we want to help our young colleagues to proceed with their research work. Chairmen and charladies are reasonable to stimulate discussions.
- The Symposia provide good possibilities to meet other researchers from the same or similar fields of your research fields.
- Finally at these Symposia the registration fee must be low in order not to stop any young colleagues from the participation.
