The Association has the following objectives:
a. promote cooperation between higher education institutions offering programmes in civil engineering;
b. foster good practice in civil engineering education and training;
c. contribute to the establishment of educational criteria in civil engineering, based on learning outcomes and competences;
d. encourage the development of programmes of education and training in civil engineering, especially those concerning innovative approaches;
e. operate as a consultant or assessor in programmes concerning education and training in civil engineering;
f. establish permanent links with the construction industry of Europe, ensuring that the point of views and needs of the industry concerning the educational programmes become known by the academia;
g. promote the mobility of students and teaching staff of the higher education institutions offering programmes in civil engineering;
h. cooperate with established professional or other associations in the furtherance of the objectives;
i. promote continuing education as an indispensable mean for the professional development of civil engineers;
j. participate to programmes of the European Commission in the field of education;
k. foster the cooperation of its members in the field of research;

c. establishing and maintaining a data bank on degree courses within higher education institutions in Europe in the field of civil engineering;
d. publishing a regular newsletter to be circulated to the membership;
e. collaborating with other international organisations with related interests.
The General Assemblies of the Association are called on an annual basis.
So far, the EUCEET Association held 16 General Assemblies:
Next GA will be hosted in ESTP Paris.
The Association organizes Conference in cooperation with the University which is hosting the General Assembly in the respective year.
Five Conferences of the Association took place so far:

Prof. Manoliu was not just a teacher; he was a mentor, an inspiration, and a beacon of knowledge who touched the lives of countless students and colleagues. 5 April 1934 - 12 June 2018
While he never abandoned international cooperation efforts, in later years he found time to return to journalism, this time writing about his sister Lia Manoliu (1932–1998), the first track and field athlete to compete at six Olympics (1952–1972). Lia Manoliu won two bronze medals (1960: Rome, 1964: Tokyo) and one gold (1968: Mexico City) in discus throw. Being in the USA on a scholarship, Iacint managed to travel to Mexico City, to be at the Olympic stadium and celebrate the gold medal with Lia.
The EUCEET Association is an international non-profit association, registered in Belgium, and has no VAT Number.
