PhD School/ Winter Retreat
6 July 2024
The PhD School (typically called Summer School) is a long-running tradition of the International Group for Lean Construction (IGLC). The PhD School has provided doctoral students worldwide a special opportunity to present their research and get feedback from a panel of experts in a very open yet challenging forum. Postgraduate students from Industry and Academia in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry and related fields are invited to submit extended abstracts on Lean Construction research and applications for presentation at the IGLC32 in Auckland, New Zealand.
In 2024, a group of 10 students will get 15 minutes to present their work in a structured way, followed by 15 minutes of discussion. Help will be available for those who want to fine-tune their research methods or refine their problem statement. In addition to those students presenting their work (called presenters), there will also be an opportunity for eligible students to attend the event and be part of the discussion (called listeners), either as early-stage researchers or experienced ones who have already been to a summer school.
Application Closed.
