Gävle, University of .., Centre for Built Environment
Introduction:
The Centre for Built Environment is a department at the University of Gävle. Its main activities are scientific research and postgraduate training in the fields of building materials, indoor environment, real estate management, housing, architecture and physical planning. The postgraduate training is carried out in co-operation with KTH, The Royal Institute of Technology, in Stockholm. The researchers at the Centre are also responsible for undergraduate educational programmes and several courses at the University of Gävle. The divisions are to a large extent multidisciplinary. The Centre has several outstanding laboratory facilities for model and full scale testing of wind environment, materials, indoor environment, human reactions and air quality. Airborne and ground-based mobile equipment for remote sensing and a test field for surveying are also important parts of the facilities. Several researchers participate in international research organisations, often as members of the board, and guest researchers from many countries visit the Centre for longer or shorter periods.
Vision:
The objectives of the Student Chapter are:
• To encourage the development of research interests among its members.
• To provide a forum for disseminating, sharing and exchanging research skills and experience within the Student Chapter and towards other CIB Student Chapters.
• To improve the contact and benefits with other CIB Student Chapters and the global research community.
• To facilitate and promote joint research and academic exchange with other CIB Student Chapters and the global research community
Programme:
The Work Programme is as follows:
• Create and organise a forum for discussion and internal exchanging of research findings and experiences. Organise internal meetings and activities to enhance the sense of community among the members.
• Organise workshops and seminars to disseminating and sharing research experience and findings by invited speakers/experts from University of Gävle, European and International companies and/or other universities and institutions.
• Establish contacts with other CIB Student Chapters around the world by arranging and participate in workshops, symposiums or other similar activities.
• Establish contacts with CIB commissions and CIB member Institutes.
• Develop and produce a newsletter for the Student Chapter on regular basis (at least twice a year).
• Mapping of new research findings and experiences within the research area of the Student Chapter.
The programme involves minutes of meeting as deliverables, publication of newsletters, established contacts with at least five other CIB Student Chapters and presentation of a proposal of an invitation to a workshop or seminar that will be given at the University of Gävle, Sweden.
