Architect Jeanette Muñoz Abela has been elected Vice President (VP) of the European Council of Civil Engineers (ECCE).
In a press release, Kamra tal-Periti (KTP), said that with this role, Dr Muñoz Abela will be “bringing her extensive experience and leadership to this European institution.”
Dr Muñoz Abela currently serves as Chairperson of the Permanent Committee on Engineering within KTP and has previously held the role of VP of the organisation.
KTP noted that she will continue to represent the voice of civil engineers at a European level, now as VP.
Dr Muñoz Abela remarked that it is an honour to be elected as VP of ECCE, an organisation that has "consistently championed the civil engineering profession across Europe since 1985."
"As civil engineers, we are at a pivotal moment where our expertise in sustainable solutions and innovation is crucial in addressing challenges like the climate crisis and advancements in artificial intelligence," she continued.
Dr Muñoz Abela will be collaborating with ECCE President, Cypriot Architect Platonas Stylianou, and the executive board to advance several initiatives, including a common training framework for easier mobility of engineers within Europe and the upcoming 2025 publication of the Civil Professional Book, which will outline the profession’s contributions across the continent.
ECCE is also focusing on digitisation within the construction industry, with a position paper addressing Building Information Modelling (BIM) and artificial intelligence in progress.
