A festive moment at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of Politehnica University Timișoara, which organized on 9 April 2019 the ceremony of awarding the academic title of "Honorary Professor" to prof. eng. Christoph Gehlen, PhD, from the Technical University of Munich. The title was awarded on the one hand for recognition of the professional merits of a prestigious representative of world construction sciences, but also for the constant support of the UPT section of German-language Civil Engineering and Industrial Studies.

At the opening of the event, the Dean of the Timisoara Faculty of Civil Engineering, prof. eng. Raul Zaharia, PhD, presented a brief history of the faculty, of the German language teaching section, of the support that DAAD (the German Academic Exchange Service) has given this section since its inception, as well as of the good relations with TU Munich, in particular the faculties of civil engineering in the two universities.

Prof. eng. Radu Băncilă, PhD, a professor of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at UPT and an initiator of the teaching department in German, almost 30 years ago, presented the importance of the collaboration relationship established with TU Munich, especially the agreement on the double diploma, but also the appreciation which the graduates of the faculty enjoy abroad.

Prof. eng. Sorin Herban, PhD, Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, presented the remarkable career of prof. eng. Christoph Gehlen, PhD, and prof. eng. Daniel Dan, vice-rector of UPT, handed him the honorary teacher's diploma, welcoming him to the teaching staff of Politehnica University Timisoara.

Over two decades, prof. eng. Christoph Gehlen, PhD, has conducted remarkable scientific and technical activity, illustrated by a staggering number of high-level scientific research, including both basic research projects and industrial pilot projects and numerous publications.

In parallel with practical and research work, in 2008, Christoph Gehlen began his university career as well. After an impressive practical and theoretical activity, in January 2012, Gehlen was elected a dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Geodesy and Environment of the Technical University of Munich.

In this capacity, in 2017 he signs the cooperation agreement, on behalf of TU Munich, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Geodesy and Environment, with the Faculty of Civil Engineering of Politehnica University Timișoara, actively supporting the development of collaboration relations.

For these reasons, the Senate of Politehnica University Timișoara, in March 2019, decided to award the title of "Honorary Professor" to prof. eng. Christoph Gehlen, PhD.
