Welcome!

WBC2022 will focus the building community’s attention on making our world a better place to live. We hope you’ll join us! 

​

The CIB (International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction) is:

• a global network of researchers and industry professionals

• working together to improve building processes and enhance the performance of the built environment. 

Every three years, the CIB holds the World Building Congress (WBC) to:

• connect the international building community

• discuss the latest research

• share insights and inspiration to improve projects worldwide, and

• create lasting networks for future collaboration. 

WBC2022 will showcase the work of the CIB Working Commissions and Task Groups and include:

• sessions focussing on the ongoing research of our global members. 

• thematic keynotes and industry sessions

• feature presentations on state-of-the art infrastructure and building projects currently under construction around Melbourne, including:

  • the Melbourne Metro

  • road tunnels and freeway projects

  • rail separations, and

  • high-rise buildings for housing and commercial purposes.  

Congress-goers will be able to visit project sites, engage with industry professionals and watch research improving practice in real time.
