Construction Research Track - ISERC 2016
Our track looks forward to a high-quality program of research presentations at the 2016 ISERC conference. In the first round of submission, 9 abstracts were received, and although paper submission was optional, three authors submitted full papers in the second round.
At this year's conference, construction research track will host two sessions with three unique presentations in each:
- Construction Management
- Sustainable Construction
Looking forward to seeing you there.
