The Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) has signed a collaborative agreement with the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB).
[edit] Purpose
The purpose of the agreement is for both organisations to share, jointly produce and/or disseminate research outputs, information, knowledge and current good practice through conferences, publications and events, thus promoting the skills, competences and professions of the members of both CIAT and CIB.
It will also position both organisations as leaders in the field of enhancing the built environment and architectural science and technology research.
Both CIB and CIAT look forward to a fruitful and positive relationship.
