The Innovation and the Built Environment Academy (IBEA) is a non-profit organisation and holds conferences each autumn (September-October), alternating in various locations around the world. Each conference brings together practitioners, academics, scientists, legal and financial professionals, policy makers and many more with the aim of revealing and discussing the state of the arts developments
in innovation in the built environment. IBEA acknowledges that networking facilitates collaboration between stakeholders such as the education system, government and the private sector and may ultimately lead to innovation and anticipates that over the three days of the conference we will have a large gathering of distinguished researchers, clients, consultants, engineers, scientists, technologist, financiers, policy makers and others with a direct interest in the built environment from home and abroad. The programme of papers and posters will provide an opportunity for knowledge transfer and sharing of experiences across a wide range of disciplines.
