In 2022 new CIB President Makarand (Mark) Hastak launched this series of hourly webinars in partnership with Purdue University. This series, held between September and December 2024, focuses on the regional impact of CIB on global research in the built environment.

The seminars are delivered by CIB Regional Directors and members who are active in their regions and work to highlight the impact of CIB on global research.
