The forum gives young professionals under the age of 40 working in the international consulting engineering sector the opportunity to participate in the key activities of FIDIC.

Through a range of activities, including newsletters, dedicated webinars and seminars, articles and campaigns on social media and a number of face-to-face networking opportunities, members of the steering committee help to represent the voice of FIDIC young professionals around the globe.
The steering committee also organises the annual FIDIC Young Professionals Symposium and awards that takes place during FIDIC’s annual international infrastructure conference.
Chair of the FIDIC young professionals’ forum, Cosmin Tobolcea, general manager of Romanian consultancy firm Pro Toby, said: “Young professionals that get involved in our work get to meet some great people as part of our network who can help guide them in their future careers as consulting engineers. I’d strongly encourage people to think about joining our committee.”
