Organiser:
Building Performance Institute Europe (BPIE) in collaboration with European Builders Confederation (EBC)

Type of Event:
Conference

In the building sector, multiple initiatives and flanking measures have been launched to realise the EU vision: legislation, strategies, plans, support programmes, standards … But is this enough to bring the vision of a sustainable European built environment to life? The event will challenge the solidity and strength of the existing vision and initiatives, and examine the need for integration, long-term thinking, accelerated practice and better collaboration at all levels.

We will use interactive technologies to ensure a dynamic exchange of ideas between the audience and the panellists.

Registration is compulsory on the EUSEW website before June 19, please click here.
