counters between study guests and leading minds from the professional world and from the realms of science, culture and politics, as well as important groups in society, can also take place here.” The Programme Advisory Council was conceived as a body whose members investigate and discuss the potential fields of action of engineers in the construction industry, and has continued to fulfil this mission up to this day. It is our agreed goal to augment the expertise acquired through university training by adding the human, social and cultural dimension of education, which often complements the former and is an essential asset for our judg ment and actions. This means understanding the world in its complex diversity and developing our own role with determination and a focus on values. This also means implementing what is necessary and responsible with regard to impact and maintaining a balance between humanity, nature and technology while keeping in mind the historical developments and remaining attentive to the necessary and true bigger picture but also to the requisite diversity in the further development of the construction engineering professions.
