The article outlines an innovative approach by schools of architecture and civil engineering to educate professionals skilled in hybrid timber building construction and design, thereby filling the educational gap in the area of timber construction. To answer the question of what student competencies should be developed in the design and construction of sustainable, high-performance hybrid wood structures, a survey was conducted among several wood product design and manufacturing companies in Europe. Then, in an attempt to prepare an innovative educational course programme on sustainable design of hybrid timber buildings, the current educational offerings of selected architecture and civil engineering faculties of European universities were examined. The article presents the survey results from Poland and Lithuania. The results of the survey show a lack of comprehensive education subjects to shape the competencies of architecture and civil engineering students. The offered subjects need to be improved in relation to modern hybrid timber structures to provide the graduates with the required competencies. This research was carried out as part of the EU project Sustainable, High-Performance Hybrid Timber Building (HiHTC).
