Hybrid Conference POWERCN2050
“Imagine a career where you can shape the future roads we drive on”
This is the motto of the new proposal for the Joint Master SURPAVE – Sustainable and Resilient Pavement Engineering, a collaboration between University of Antwerp (Prof Wim Van den bergh), University of Minho (Prof Elisabete Freitas), University of Palermo (Prof Davide Lo Presti) and MAHE Manipal (Prof Girish Murgod). The launch is scheduled for September 1st 2026.
We are organising a conference to inform you about this initiative on December 11th 13-16:00 CET, online and in person.
The Joint Master in Sustainable and Resilient Pavement Engineering SURPAVE is a 2-years master of 120 credits. The program aims to cultivate a generation of professionals capable of integrating sustainability and resilience principles into the design, construction, use and management of pavements. The primary objective of this new Joint Master is to contribute to a climate resilient and sustainable pavement infrastructure and recognising the pivotal role of road infrastructure in the development of countries. The innovative curriculum emphasises a multidisciplinary approach, encouraging engineers to adopt a broad vision that encompasses sustainable technologies, people, and processes, to meet the requirements of the future labour market. With this program the participants contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.
The Joint Master is in strong collaboration with the broad sector such as academics, companies, road authorities and other stakeholders. If you want to be more closely involved, you can join as associate partner. This group of associate partners, currently more than 30 and spread around the world, supports the Joint Master in a direct way by giving inspiring lectures at one of the partners, or hosting students during their Industrial Training and Dissertation. It is one of the goals of the Joint Master: connecting high potential and excellent trained students and the industry, to solve challenges by working together on innovations.
