In principle it must be noted that despite far-reaching IT basic training at national level and despite a brisk construction market, research in the pertaining area (construction and ICT) has been relatively underrepresented to this date. At any rate, the country has not yet seen a genuine culture of (subsidised) research emerge in this area. It must be observed that company-level (self-financed) research rarely contributes to enlarging the knowledge bases in the sense of “knowledge sharing”. During a theme-related workshop the two project streams (supplying project ideas and interaction with representatives of interests) were strategically merged and validated.
