CIB currently has 20 Student Chapters, and these are means by which students, who may become the future leaders of building research and innovation, are able to engage with and be inspired by current leading edge building research world wide, and to appreciate at first hand the value of international exchange and cooperation

A CIB Student Chapter may be a local, regional, national or even international organised group of students, provided that those students are enrolled at CIB Member universities and preferably have an identifiable common interest in the work of one or more CIB Commissions* or Priority Themes. Examples of different types of CIB Student Chapters envisaged by the current CIB guidelines include, but are not limited to:

University of Lisbon Student Chapter event – October
  • Chapters with a membership based on one CIB Member university: Full or Associate Membership
  • Chapters with a membership based on two or more CIB Member universities in the same country or region, with shared identifiable common interests (as described above) so as to be a regional or national Chapter
  • Chapters with an international membership, based on CIB Member universities anywhere in the world, related to a CIB Commission and operating under the responsibility of that Commission.

* In this context a CIB Commission includes a Working Commission or a Task Group.

CIB University Members interested in forming a CIB Student Chapter may make a formal proposal to the CIB Programme Committee. Before doing that it may be helpful to consult Advice to Intending Student Chapters here .
