UEMF and University of Surrey united around innovation in civil engineering during the international workshop “Digital Earth 2026”

Euromed University of Fes, in partnership with** University of Surrey,** organized the international workshop Digital Earth 2026, an academic initiative that brought together, over four days, students from the Euromed Polytechnic School (EPS) and their British counterparts to address the issues of digitalization in construction and sustainable development.

Designed as a collaborative learning and experimentation space, this workshop offered participants an immersion at the crossroads of engineering, technological innovation and international cooperation. Divided into mixed groups, the students worked in an environment that promoted intercultural exchange, the sharing of expertise and collaborative work on concrete problems.

The program was paced by a series of practical and technical activities allowing participants to explore several innovative dimensions of civil engineering, including 3D printing of concrete, modular construction based on interlocking bricks as well as mechanical tests and material characterization trials.

Supervised by academic and technical teams from both institutions, the students were able to confront their theoretical knowledge with real applications while developing essential skills in innovation, problem solving and collaboration in an international context.

Beyond its technical dimension, this workshop illustrates a pedagogical approach based on experimentation and openness, preparing future engineers to respond to the transformations that are redefining construction professions and the challenges of sustainable development.

Through this initiative, Euromed University of Fes reaffirms its commitment to offering academic experiences with an international scope, combining scientific excellence, technological innovation and university cooperation in the service of training the engineers of tomorrow.
