About us
The International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB) is a worldwide network of building and construction experts who improve their day-to-day performance through international co-operation and information exchange with their peers. It’s an international community of brilliant minds and head-of-class entities, early career researchers and student chapters, focused on building and construction research and innovation. CIB was established in 1953 with United Nations’ assistance and holds special UN consultative status. The Board of Directors is an impressive group of 25 senior leaders within their countries’ research and academic communities. Collaborate and Compare: CIB’s 40+ Commissions give members the opportunity to collaborate with global experts on in-depth and multi-facetted research and consensus building. Each Commission consists of global researchers, academics, and practitioners and cover the most relevant aspects of building and construction. Compare your research and innovation against the world’s leaders. Take what you learn, apply the knowledge, and improve. Inclusion and Inspiration: CIB is a community that includes everybody. It promotes inclusion and diversity. Voices from all cultures and backgrounds contribute positively to the advancement of our industry. Members benefit from this inclusivity as it exposes them to new ways of thinking. Members are inspired by our diverse network.

Academic Activist and Associate Director of Research at the CSRA : 'I feel like I owe it to someone' (Crosby 1970)
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!

Please complete and repost!! “Global survey on Net Zero Carbon Building Practices in New Zealand”
Attention all construction industry professionals in New Zealand! Research Help Needed! Would you mind helping Massey University by filling out a short survey? Thank you, everyone, for your help. A research team comprising Dr. Niluka Domingo, Ms. Jiaxin Liang, and Mr. Pierrick Even from the School of Built Environment - Massey University, is conducting a survey on the ‘Global Survey on Net Zero Carbon Building Practices in New Zealand.’ This research aims to identify zero/low carbon building design and construction practices within New Zealand. The survey also seeks to understand the enablers and barriers to implementing these practices. It is part of a global survey undertaken by the CIB TG124 task group with a CIB Vistas funding award. We are seeking construction professionals in New Zealand who have at least one year of experience in the field. The survey is estimated to take about 15-20 minutes to complete. Your valuable participation is highly appreciated. The final report will be disseminated through our networks. You can click below link or scan the QR code to do the survey: https://lnkd.in/grQR_9DY #MBIE #NZIOB #NZIA #NZCIC #NZGBC #NZIQS #NZIS #BRANZ #EECA #NZWIC #DINZ #LCANZ #NZCB #NZCCA #PHINZ #carbon #CIB
