CIB is the acronym of the abbreviated French (former) name: "Conseil International du Bâtiment" (in English this is: International Council for Building). In the course of 1998, the abbreviation has been kept but the full name changed into:
INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL FOR RESEARCH AND INNOVATION IN BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION
CIB was established in 1953 as an Association whose objectives were to stimulate and facilitate international cooperation and information exchange between governmental research institutes in the building and construction sector, with an emphasis on those institutes engaged in technical fields of research.
CIB has since developed into a world wide network of over 5000 experts from about 500 member organisations with a research, university, industry or government background, who collectively are active in all aspects of research and innvation for building and construction.
The Postgraduate Student Forum aims to provide an active and supportive community for Postgraduate Construction and Property Law Students worldwide. Membership is open to postgraduate students, whether enrolled for a taught or research award.
The conference is the culmination of the series of regional SB10 conferences. It addresses new opportunities for improving quality of life, mitigating effects of climate change and making new business in both developing countries and industrialized nations.
