As part of the Horizon Circ-Boost project, in which the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Belgrade is a key partner, the first in a series of webinars dedicated to circular construction will be held. Experts from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Penta Ge.Co. Construction, and Beam Europe, along with representatives from the Serbia Green Building Council, will share their insights on innovative construction solutions, technical challenges, and the importance of the circular economy for the construction sector. Special focus will be placed on the application of recycled aggregates, fly ash, reused steel, and recycled bricks in modern construction practices. Participants of the Circ-Boost project will present the progress and challenges within Pilot 3, which aims to develop, test and demonstrate circular solutions in construction through the creation of a modular and demountable single-story building. The webinar will be held on April 3, 2025, at 11:00. Registration link.

The Laboratory of Metrology has been actively participating in the international EPN (EUREF Permanent Network) Densification project for three years. As of February 26, 2025, its participation has been published on the official EPND website.

On Wednesday, February, 19, 2025. at the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Belgrade, Marko Stanković, BSc Geodesy, defended his PhD thesis:

DETERMINATION OF QUASIGEOID USING MODELED ANOMALY
POTENTIAL FUNCTIONAL VALUES

The members of the Commission were: Full professor Dragan Blagojević, Assistant professor Sanja Grekulović, Full professor Vladimir Bulatović, (University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences).


Congratulations!

The Faculty of Civil Engineering informs the public that in January 2025, the prestigious international accreditation of the undergraduate and master's studies of the Civil Engineering study program was obtained by the German company ASIIN (Akkreditierungsagentur für Studiengänge der Ingenieurwissenschaften, der Informatik, der Naturwissenschaften und der Mathematik eV) In this way, the undergraduate and master's study programs of Civil Engineering at our faculty become the only programs in the field of civil engineering in Serbia, and one of the few in the Western Balkans region, that have ASIIN accreditation and the prestigious EUR-ACE® quality certificate.

At the Faculty of Civil Engineering, on Friday, November 22, 2024, was held the first in a series of planned trainings of the Horizon Project Circ-Boost, in which the Faculty of Civil Engineering participates as one of the key partners. The topic was "A step toward carbon neutral and circular construction industry" at the inspiring setting of the FCE building

Ass. prof. Ivan Ignjatovic from FCE provided us with an look into the 3R House (Reduce - Reuse - Recycle) being built as a part of the Pilot 3 activities conducted in Belgrade, its concept & contribution to hashtag CircularConstruction.

Prof. Snežana Marković from FCE gave a captivating presentation on the policy landscape of the construction industry green transition.

Tea Spasojevic-Santic from IMS Institute, Belgrade described the processes behind the EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) creation, igniting the questions & further discussion among audience.

This is the first of many trainings FCE will conduct to transfer the knowledge learned through their Pilot 3 activities in Belgrade.

The international conference Milanković`s Theory of Climate Changes-Hundred Years Afterwords was organized as a part of the program of marking 145 from the birth of great man of Serbian and world science Milutin Milanković. The conference was held on November 4-5, 2024 on the occasion of the International Day Climate Change in Lecture Hall Milutin Milanković of the Faculty of Civil Engineering.
The objective of the conference, which was attended by liding world experts in the fild of climate changes, was to anticipate on the basis of Milanković`s theory what could be expected to occur in the next 100 years as a consequence of the climate changes, both due to naturale long-term processes and anthropogenic factors, and to propose practical measures that the human civilzation should undertake in order to prevent their negative influence on the enviroment.

Program of the Conference

With the presence of over 300 participants from 19 countries, the International Symposium of the Association of Structural Engineers of Serbia 2024 was successfully held. Representatives from the academic community, the construction industry, companies supporting the ASES, scientists, researchers, and engineers – with a diversity of participant profiles and content, the ASES Symposium lived up to the (high) expectations.

There were five keynote presentations on topics such as bridges, vibrations, FRP structures, rehabilitation, and the impact of steel and concrete structures on the environment, all of which garnered great attention from the professional audience. The keynote speakers were Kilian Karius, Vitomir Racić, Marko Pavlović, Snežana Marinković, and Radenko Pejović.

Traditional awards and recognitions were presented:

The Award for Best Professional Achievement was given to Dimitrije Aleksić, Milan Pandrc, Šerif Dunica, and Saša Stošić for the Project: "STATION BUILDING WITHIN THE 'BELGRADE CENTER' RAILWAY STATION COMPLEX." The Award for Best Scientific Achievement was given to Isidora Jakovljević, Andrija Zorić, and Nikola Rajić. Special recognitions were also awarded to Distinguished Members, Boško Stevanović and Dragoslav Stojić.

The proceedings contain a total of 89 papers – 5 keynote presentations, 4 awarded papers, and 80 scheduled to be presented in the working sessions. Special attention was given to young authors, whose presentations were evaluated by a four-member jury based on the following criteria: 1) presentation (clarity, structure, consistency between oral and visual presentation), 2) technical competencies (objectives, methods, results), 3) motivation, and 4) relevance, i.e., the significance of the topic. The awarded colleagues are: Nadica Angova Kolevska, Maja Ranisavljević, and Milica Petrović, who will have the opportunity to present their extended and revised papers in the "Building Materials and Structures" journal, co-published by ASES.

Out of 26 papers planned for presentation in the poster session, 23 were exhibited, with special recognition at the symposium's closing ceremony for awardees Ivan Nackov and Stefan Mitrović.

The roundtable discussion on the topic: "Towards the Mandatory Use of BIM in Structural Engineering" attracted a large number of participants and sparked a lively discussion. It is evident that there is a need for more discussions on this topic, with the organization of panels and consultations suggested for that purpose.

The final session of the Symposium was a panel discussion titled: "Current Scientific Projects from Serbia and the Region – Opportunities for Application and Exploitation of Results." The main speakers were the vice-deans for science of the faculties of civil engineering in Zagreb and Belgrade, Ana Baričević and Miroslav Marjanović, as well as representatives of companies from Serbia: STRABAG – Marko Radulović, PENTA GE CO – Mihajlo Ristić, and PUT INŽENJERING – Denis Milenović.
