The Korea Institute of Construction Engineering and Management(KICEM), founded in 1999, is a leading organization representing the academic and industrial communities of construction engineering and management in Korea. KICEM currently has more than 2,000 members including professors, students, researchers, professional engineers and government officials. Over 30 major Korean construction and engineering companies are also involved in this organization as member companies as well.

The main goals of KICEM are two fold: first, developing and spreading a systematic knowledge base for construction engineering and management; second, leading and promoting related R&D programs in collaboration with academia, research institutes, and industry. KICEM is achieving these goals through various conferences, seminars, education and training programs, and R&D activities.

Now KICEM would like to present a new vision for the development of the construction engineering and management sector. As this area has become one of the core technologies in the world construction market, we would like to share and spread relevant information and knowledge by forming an international network through this conference.
