CITB NI’s Post

With the recent announcement of the new British Tunnelling Society Young Members' (BTSYM) committee, we are delighted that Avantika Raj and Solomon Ekperuoh both have been named as chairs for sub groups. Avantika will lead the Social Media and Communications, whilst Solomon is responsible for the Youth Outreach and Education - we wish them well in their roles! The aim of the BTSYM is to provide the same services as the British Tunnelling Society (lectures, workshops, site visits, socials) but with a special focus on young engineers. The BTSYM tailors lectures and workshops to allow engineers to gain a broader understanding of the industry outside of their immediate work experiences, and also provides a platform for young engineers to present their work and learning either through evening lectures or via the BTSYM conference. The socials are a platform for young engineers from different companies to network and also catch up with friends. This year the BTSYM will aim to improve its connections with peer societies (such as the ITAym, BGA-ECG, IOM3) and also extend geographically in the Midlands and North to create a wider active community. The organisation is also working on engaging further with universities through its university representatives to promote a career in tunnelling. #tunnelling #btsym #engineeringcareers #innovation

These days, our work on the 𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗕 (𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗮𝗻𝘀) project is in full swing as we have entered the implementation phase. 🙂🌱 Partnering with CTT - Center of Technology Transfer and University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, we’re making strong progress in #building #research #capacities and driving #collaboration across Croatia’s Quadruple Helix—academia, industry, government, and civil society. The implementation phase focuses on enhancing research capacities and applying ORRI (Open and Responsible Research and Innovation) principles to ensure research aligns with societal needs, ethical standards, and open access practices. CTT's expertise in innovation management, FSB’s academic insight, and STEMwise’s coordination efforts are critical to advancing this initiative. This impactful work is supported by the REINFORCING Project platform, a key hub for building inclusive and innovative R&I ecosystems.

The Victorian Department of Transport and Planning recently announced they will invest $964 million in road network maintenance in 2025. Roads are the lifeblood of our communities, and DTP will invest in hundreds of projects throughout the state, so now is the perfect time to upskill in road construction and maintenance. The National Transport Research Organisation (NTRO) is Australia's leading provider of transport infrastructure training and will deliver hundreds of training sessions in 2025. Topics will include inspecting and managing bridges, building roads, pavement construction and repairing surface defects, as well as geometric road design, road safety and worksite traffic management, just to name a few.

See you in Trondheim on 13-16 May! ICTCT / NTSA Research School 2025 gathers PhD students and senior researchers around the topic of "integrated approach to traffic safety". In other words, how traffic safety is a part of the sustainability transition of the transport system and our society. There cannot be a more relevant topic. #trafficsafety #roadsafety #visionzero #sustainability The Faculty of Engineering at Lund University

To all maritime and port administrations: here's a tool for your leap in the future!

Breaking New Ground: Ethiopian Maritime Training Institute to Launch First Batch of Electro-Technical Officers in 2025! We’re thrilled to announce a major milestone in our journey to transform maritime education in Ethiopia and beyond. In 2025, the Ethiopian Maritime Training Institute (EMTI) will proudly launch its first cohort of Electro-Technical Officers (ETO) as part of our comprehensive Maritime Training Program. This achievement is more than just a new offering; it represents a bold step forward in our strategic mission to grow Ethiopia’s footprint in the global engineering seafarers' market. With the maritime industry increasingly driven by advanced technology and electrical systems, the demand for skilled ETOs has never been greater. At EMTI, we are committed to equipping our graduates with cutting-edge technical expertise, global-standard certifications, and the resilience needed to navigate the challenges of the 21st-century maritime sector. This initiative underscores our ambition to contribute meaningfully to Ethiopia’s position as a hub for world-class seafarers. To our industry partners, colleagues, and aspiring maritime professionals: the future is bright, and the waves of opportunity are within reach. Together, let’s set sail towards innovation, growth, and excellence! #MaritimeTraining #ElectroTechnicalOfficers #EthiopiaMaritime #GlobalSeafarers #InnovationAtSea #Ethiopia #EMTI
