OVERVIEW

Welcome to the IGLC34 Summer School, a dedicated opportunity where graduate researchers gather to immerse themselves in a focused and supportive environment for learning and growth. The programme is designed specifically for PhD students, offering a unique opportunity to refine research proposals and receive valuable feedback from leading academics in Lean Construction.

Through collaboration, mentorship, and academic rigour, the Summer School fosters an environment that advances research quality and prepares postgraduate researchers to become future leaders in the field.

We invite graduate researchers from around the world to join us in strengthening their knowledge, skills, and contributions to Lean Construction and the wider built environment disciplines.
