2009 to provide Engineeering and Architecture PhD students with a <br>
special forum, in addition to their PhD programmes, to present the <br>
results of their ongoing research. These research results should be <br>
discussed in the light of proposals to continue the research. The <br>
First, Second, Third and Fourth International PhD Symposia were <br>
organized in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and this important tradition <br>
continues in 2009.<br>
