Global Leadership Forum

The Global Leadership Forum for Construction Engineering and Management Programs (GLF-CEM) is intended to bring together professors from leading universities around the world who play a leadership and/or administrator role in their respective programs. The objective of this forum is to establish a body of academic leadership in Construction Engineering and Management to discuss and share issues of common concern in Research, Teaching, Academic Administration, and Opportunities for Collaboration. This two-day conference will include keynote speakers and panel sessions with global leaders.

The next Global Leadership Forum for Construction Engineering and Management Programs (GLF-CEM) will be held face-to-face from Monday, May 29, to Tuesday, May 30, 2023. GLF advances construction engineering and management programs by sharing program information, trends, and other timely issues worldwide.

This year’s theme is “Best practices, innovation, and challenges in construction engineering and management programs and leadership. The idea of this theme is to bring the origin of the vision of the GLF CEM, which is producing future leaders in construction engineering and management through state-of-the-art teaching and research. From the education viewpoint, this group aims to develop guidelines for creating credible programs that promote educational excellence by preparing students with practice and theory to become global construction leaders in academia or industry. On the other hand, from an organizational perspective, this group aims to prepare the next generation of global construction leaders.

Therefore, the GLF- CEM 2023 intends to enhance the engagement among participants by sharing best practices, innovation, and challenges in construction engineering and management programs and leadership, aiming to strengthen the international position of construction engineering and management programs.
