This year’s theme is “Creating sustained societal impact through Construction Engineering Management.”
The role of Construction Engineering Management in ensuring a sustainable future has never been greater. In addition to the excellent research advances across the globe, which are creating new trends and benchmarks for future activity, there are other significant elements that play an important role. For example, attracting and retaining the best talent in our sector is critical. Ensuring the mentoring and coaching of young and new academics will ensure sustained academic excellence. The collaboration between academia, industry, government and other organisations is necessary to address global challenges. Addressing the lack of diversity in our sector has always been our Achilles’ heel. The conference will address how Construction Engineering Management can play an important role in creating sustained societal impact through addressing the aforementioned issues. Global academic and industrial leaders will discuss, debate and participate in this collaborative conference to come up with new and fresh ideas on how we should be moving forward. The program includes:
