A Euro- Mediterranean institute of joint engineering studies to be set up in Tunisia by 2010
Tunis, May 6, 2008 (TunisiaOnline) --A number of Euro-Mediterranean civil engineering laboratories are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to set up a Euro- Mediterranean institute of joint engineering studies by 2010.
The news was announced on Monday, by the Director of the civil engineering laboratory at the National engineering school of Tunis (ENIT), Mr Hedi Hsisse, during the Euro Mediterranean seminar on “Forays in geo-materials and structures” currently held in Hammamet from May 5 to 7, 2008.
He added that the Euro Mediterranean laboratories taking part in the project, were also planning to create a joint Euro-Mediterranean Masters and PhD diploma.
The seminar which is held every two years, provides an opportunity to researchers for laying the foundations of a structured scientific cooperation between Euro- Mediterranean civil engineering laboratories.
It is also the occasion for scientists to take stock of the latest advances achieved in reducing the use of non- renewable natural resources , and in reducing natural hazards due to land slides.
Participants to the event have come from Maghebi countries, Europe, Iran , the United States , and Canada . During the three days, the seminar is expected to last, they will thrash out themes relative to the development of complex works, as well as to the resistance of materials and structures.
