• What must be the corpus of construction knowledge nowadays? What are the new subject areas which will have to be included in the new construction teaching? How will these new areas coexist within and be organized around the given educational curricula? What will be the prioritization mechanisms and criteria for classifying modules as compulsory or optional?

The new Content of Contemporary Construction Teaching: how is the ‘new' related to the other(s) (specialisations and subject areas) Chair: R. Sastre

• What forms of collaboration with other subject areas will have to be invented in this new context? Will new specialisations emerge from these collaborations? How could the new content in construction teaching reinforce the relationship between design and construction? Would the design studio serve as the appropriate milieu or should other niches be defined? How can the teaching of construction incorporate the continuous developments in innovation? How does this (new) content affect student competences and skills necessary to practise architecture?
13:30-14:30 Lunch
14:30-15:45 Second theme (Presentations by schools on the theme) :

• How do changes in the content of construction teaching affect the teaching process? Do they affect the aims and objectives of the already established modules and courses? Should new teaching methods and pedagogic strategies be invented for this new content to be transferred more effectively to students? How will new technologies – nowadays indispensable means of transferring knowledge– become even more creative tools for the teaching of construction?
15:45-16:15 Coffee break
16:15-18:30 Second theme continuous.

Fritz, Liechtenstein University of Applied Sciences.
• What tools and vehicles will be employed in the new construction teaching? How will new information on innovation, new materials and construction methods, become known to construction teachers? How could this information be taught and disseminated to students? What tools would facilitate this dissemination? What tools would respond to this need (software, databases, websites etc.)? What are the necessary initiatives our Network should take towards strengthening this new form of information exchange and towards enriching and improving the process of teaching them?

• What types of research will emerge from the (re)search and redefinition of the content of contemporary construction teaching? What can be researched, experimented and tested in the context of construction today? Where can research on construction be published and disseminated? What research results will be useful to advance construction and construction teaching? What types of interdisciplinary collaborations and effective research outputs might emerge? Are our institutions prepared, equipped and supported adequately enough to allow research to be included in the new content of construction teaching? Who would be interested in funding research in construction nowadays? What are the necessary initiatives our Network should take towards strengthening the research activities and collaborations among its members?
