Objectives

Most of the project’s intellectual outputs will be maintained post-project to provide open-access resources in multiple languages. A comprehensive Exploitation and Sustainability Strategy will guide this effort, covering the analysis of potential uses, exploitation routes, and target audiences. Each partner have tailored exploitation plans, addressing factors influencing long-term use and sustainability. The outputs, like the BIM teaching approach, will remain valuable for partners' curricula and lifelong learning for AEC professionals, supported by associated organizations. The project web portal will be maintained for at least three years, funded by the promoter’s internal resources. Public outputs will stay accessible under the open-access policy, offering multilingual resources such as BIM teaching materials, student and lecturer guides, workshop guidelines, and short course programs. These resources, along with marketing and assessment tools, will support ongoing use and adaptation. Collaboration among project partners is also expected to continue post-project.

Background

BIM is a digital methodology that will lead to huge changes in the performances of professionals in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector, particularly regarding architects, civil engineers and contractors. Improving the technical skills of AEC young professionals especially in the civil and building engineering fields is an important contribution to generating a more skilled workforce capable of facing new technological changes that challenge Europe.
