pt sponsors CIB 2010 World Congress

pt supported the CIB 2010 World Congress and sponsored the World Wide Healthy Buildings workshop in association with the World Health Organisation.

The 2010 CIB or Conseil International du Bâtiment in English this is: International Council for Building World Congress was focused on Building a Better World. The construction and built environment sectors are already hugely important to achieving a world in which people are properly housed, in which buildings and transport systems support the efficient operation of our economies, and in which people are happy and healthy.

Hundreds of researchers from across the globe met at the Congress, representing a strong multi-disciplinary mix of over forty CIB Working Commissions and Task Groups and, as well as running their own academic streams, they supported a range of other activities, including responding to global challenges from bodies such as the UN, OECD, WHO and EC and engaging in a busy social programme.

The Congress included 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.

The Congress held a gala dinner with over 600 guests at Old Trafford, Manchester United’s ‘Theatre of Dreams’ at which pt’s Managing Director Professor Trevor Mole addressed the congress guests with a thought provoking talk on the importance of the entrepreneur and small business in the UK economy and in the creation of new wealth for the nation and its citizens.
