CIB, International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction

Call to present industry and academic innovation that has resulted in successfull practical applications The CIB WBC2025 Industry Forum is a full-day event within the CIB World Building Congress, scheduled for Tuesday, May 20, 2025. Our WBC2025 Industry Forum aims to provide a platform for presenting industry and academic innovation that has resulted in successful practical applications. The practical effects of such work can manifest in various ways, including: - Distinct use by commercial companies to improve profitability - Justification for changes in building codes or other regulatory matters - Motivation for legislation - Modifications by industry associations of their programs or training classes - Other changes driven by the direct application of the work   Call for submissions Interested authors are invited to submit a brief description of their work (a one page summary) for consideration to be included in the Industry Forum session by 2nd December 2024. More information on the Industry Forum and how to submit is available on the WBC2025 website - https://lnkd.in/eGJjajgw #WBC2025 #industryforum #builtenvironment #research #construction Makarand (Mark) Hastak Željko "Z" Torbica Randy Rapp Eira Rowe Bryan Hubbard Brad Benhart Don Ward

Don't forget the panel discussion taking place on the 10th August on Optimising Use and Minimising Misuse of PPP in Developing Countries https://lnkd.in/dG3V7f4R

If you're a PhD student and are coming along to our CIB W099/W123 annual conference this coming October at KNUST in Kumasi, Ghana, then please do also think about getting involved in the PhD Workshop happening on October 8th, the day before the conference starts in earnest. It will be a great opportunity to share your work and receive feedback from an expert panel and your peers, and you'll also be able to take part in roundtable discussions and a panel Q&A. Details of how to apply are on the flyer below. All are welcome to attend the workshop, and even if you're not presenting there will be something of interest for students at every stage of their PhD journey. I hope to see you there!

We are delighted that Liverpool John Moores University has joined CIB as an Associate member. Looking forward to working closely with the team and their contribution to the global CIB network of research in the built environment. Volkan Ezcan https://lnkd.in/ecAEaqQu
