Message from:

Professor Sivakolundu Srisatkunarajah
Vice Chancellor, University of Jaffna

It gives me great pleasure to extend my warmest congratulations to the Department of Civil Engineering and the Civil and Environmental Engineering Society (CEES) of University of Jaffna on the occasion of the Second Undergraduate Research Symposium – 2025. This event marks a significant milestone, following the success of the inaugural symposium held in 2018, and reflects the continued commitment of our staff and students to cultivating a vibrant culture of research and innovation.

The University of Jaffna is steadfast in its mission to advance knowledge, nurture creativity and contribute meaningfully to national development. Research—both fundamental and applied—remains at the heart of this mission. I am proud to note that our students and staff engage in diverse and impactful inquiries that address real-world engineering challenges, providing solutions that benefit not only the academic community but also society at large. This symposium provides an invaluable platform for our undergraduates to present their research findings, exchange ideas, and engage with peers, academics, and industry professionals. Such interactions are vital in broadening perspectives, inspiring innovation, and developing the skills and confidence needed for future careers.

I also take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the organizers, faculty members, and students whose dedication has made this symposium a reality, as well as to the industry partners and sponsors for their generous support. I warmly welcome all participants and delegates to this event, and I am confident that the Symposium will stimulate productive discussions, foster collaborations, and pave the way for future advancements in the field of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

I wish the Second Undergraduate Research Symposium – 2025 every success.

All glories to the Almighty
