In March 2024 CIB announced an international collaboration to develop an interdisciplinary summer school on
“AI for Construction and Project Management” as a recipient of CIB Vistas funding.
Politecnico di Milano, in partnership with the University of Florida and Istituto Superior Tecnico Lisboa, proposed to establish an interdisciplinary international summer school on “AI for Construction and Project Management.” Recognizing a strong interest in acquiring specialized knowledge on AI at a problem-oriented level in the sector, the initiative sought to fill the educational gaps identified in academic and professional communities.
On completion of the project, the following report has been produced by the project team.
Final report by Project team
The Summer School on AI for Construction Project Management, organized under the auspices
of CIB, and as a collaboration of Politecnico di Milano, University of Florida, and Technical
University of Lisbon, took place from September 3rd to September 19th of 2024, in hybrid mode,
with Politecnico di Milano as the main venue.
With 162 registered participants from all over the world, ranging from practitioners in the
industry to early career researchers, PhD candidate and graduate students, this summer
school was one of the biggest events in its kind. It oPered an in-depth exploration into how
artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the construction industry. This program brought
together renowned experts from academia and industry to provide attendees with cutting-edge
knowledge and tools.
This event, as the winner of the CIB’s Vistas funding, aimed to bridge the gap between
theoretical advancements and real-world applications of AI within the realm of Construction
Project Management (CPM). As AI technologies are increasingly integrated into construction
processes, professionals must develop a deep understanding of the transformative potential
AI holds for the industry, particularly in improving ePiciency, safety, and decision-making in
large-scale projects.
