The major areas of research are: Simulation and Controlling (Real time simulation, monitoring and controlling of construction work; Supply chain management); Organisation in Construction (Health and Safety in Construction, Project risk allocation in construction contracts); Process Engineering (Automation in construction technology, Architectural concrete, Formwork technology); Real Estate and Facility Management.
Polish Association of Building Managers, PL
PABM was formed in cooperation with AEEBC and CIOB – international organizations for the subjects and national European institutions – in order to educate and certificate the managerial building personnel. PSMB works on the non-profit rule. It does not exercise any privileges or the statutory membership imperative for particular professional organizations. The factual basis for the activity of the Association was formed with the support of the European Union resources in order to even out the qualifications of Polish building managers to the European standards and to prepare them to conduct business activity on the international market. The main aims of PSMB are as follows: Supporting obtaining the managerial qualifications essential in conducting professional activity in construction; Help in recognition of the managerial competences on the European Union market; Integration of the managerial activity in building; Cooperation with similar foreign associations.

The Universitat de València was founded more than five centuries ago by the City’s governing body and has become a modern state university offering teaching in every area of knowledge: experimental sciences; engineering; health sciences; humanities; social, economic and legal sciences; and educational sciences. The IRTIC is a multidisciplinary R&D center inside de University of Valencia that was created back in 1991. In this last 22 year this institute has been working around Information and Communication Technologies. In 1992 the Computer Graphics & Virtual Reality Research line was started. Currently this line has more than 40 people working mainly in the areas of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Multimodal Interfaces, Motion Capture & Simulation. In the last 10 years the group has developed an important activity in the area of Augmented Reality applied to maintenance and training tasks where has been involved in several R&D projects at national and international level.
