Construction Transformation

Project Details

Description

The purpose of this project is to provide building blocks to the transformation of the construction industry towards sustainability, leveraging developing digital capabilities. It represents one of the core challenges of our societies, and companies and research institutions in Denmark and the US are frontrunners in the field. The objective is to develop a research agenda for construction transformation in collaboration with leading research centres in the bay area (US). Through case studies and workshops with pioneering organizations on digitalization and sustainability, the project explores and leverages synergies between the construction industries in DK and US.
