CIOB Student Challenge and Construction Conference 2025 - Ireland

Summary

The CIOB Ireland Student Challenge and Construction Conference 2025, offers a unique opportunity to connect with upcoming construction talent and key stakeholders in the Built Environment and Construction Industry.

This CIOB event is proudly sponsorred by the Ganson Group, and hosted by Dundalk Institute of Technology.

Join us for this exciting competition showcasing the talent and expertise of students in the building environment from across Ireland. Teams of four students from eleven Universitites throughout the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland will face the ultimate challenge: a three-hour window to analyze a real-world brief, develop a comprehensive bid submission report, and present their insights and solutions to an expert panel of judges. These future construction leaders will showcase their creativity, problem-solving skills, and technical knowledge.
