A CIB Student Chapter is an organised group of students at one or more CIB Member Universities whose aim is to:
- provide a means by which students who will be 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 and
- introduce those students to the advantages of CIB membership so that they are convinced of the value of maintaining membership of CIB in their future professional research and innovation careers.
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 .
