Motivation
The fib believes that it is crucial that young professionals are given the opportunity to fully participate in the activities of the organisation. They are welcome to participate in the commissions and task groups and to become part of the decision bodies. Currently, however, most of the young members do not actively participate in the development of documents and in the decisions of the fib.
To solve this issue, the fib Presidium has approved the creation of an fib Young Members Group. All members of the Presidium have high expectations for the development of this group. The Young Members Group aims to build a framework that will allow young engineers to participate in the activities of the association and to bring their ideas to the working groups and the decision bodies.
Another important goal of the Young Members Group is to connect young members at an international level and contribute to fostering the next generation of the fib. Young members here include any young people studying and working in the field of structural concrete, regardless of nationality, occupation, gender, ethnicity, religions, disability or any other status.
Scope and objective
The main objectives of the fib Young Members Group include:
- Encouraging and supporting young members to participate in professional activities in the commissions and task groups
- Networking among young members
- Enhancing the diversity and inclusiveness in the organization
- Organising workshops and meetings tailored to young members' needs so that they can study the work of other engineers to improve one's own work and can improve the profession’s self-concept in the 21st century
- Establishing connections with universities to encourage junior engineers to help engineering students and to be a source of knowledge for the students
In addition to the above objectives, the fib Young Members Group aims to establish connections with similar groups and associations in other countries.

The fib mentoring programme brings together experienced professionals keen to share their knowledge and network, and young professionals starting their professional career and who are in need of advice from knowledgeable engineers.
- Who is it for?
To take part as a mentee, individuals should be fib members and members of the fib Young Members Group. They should either be finishing their studies or starting out their career as an engineer.
To take part as a mentor, individuals should be fib members, above 40 years old, have 5 years of professional experience in structural concrete and have been a member of the fib for 5 years or more. fib Fellows are particularly encouraged to become mentors.
- How does it work?
Mentoring is a cooperative partnership in which seasoned professionals share their experience and knowledge with less experienced young professionals. Both parties stand to gain from this partnership.
The duration of mentoring is one year but may be renewed if both parties agree. The mentoring agreement is a starting point for mentees and mentors to establish their mutual goals and plan their meetings.
- How to apply?
If you wish to apply as a mentee, please contact the fib Secretariat.
