CIB World Building Congress 2010

The annual conference of the international construction body, CIB, will be held in Salford. Professor Peter Barrett is the president of the body as well as an academic at the university's school of the built environment.

The CIB World Congress looks at the state of the art in markets, research and innovation linked to construction and the built environment. The congress will include high profile presentations by leading authorities and thought leaders; trend reports covering a wide range of disciplines; perspectives on national and regional markets around the world; and the latest academic papers from every corner of the global built environment research community.

Hundreds of researchers from around the world will be meeting at the congress, representing a strong multi-disciplinary mix of over forty CIB working commissions and task groups.
