International Directory of Building Research Information and Development Organizations

Every entry follows a standard pattern: after the address and telephone number of the institution there is a brief description of its history and financial support, followed by the names of the senior staff, total number of staff, the institution's structure and services, its main research programmes and a list of its publications.

For this new edition a subject index has been added, allowing the reader to identify centres of research activity on individual construction topics throughout the world.

The world-wide investment in construction industry research is enormous.

This unique directory is a guidebook to that investment which will enable its readers to isolate sources of advice on practical problems, information on national standards and requirements and potential research collaborators.
