The CIOB Ireland Student Challenge and Construction Conference 2025, sponsored by the Ganson Group, will take place on 27 February at Dundalk Institute of Technology, Dundalk and offers a unique opportunity to connect with upcoming construction talent and key stakeholders in the Built Environment and Construction Industry.
CIOB Ireland Student Challenge 2025
The exciting student competition will showcase the talent and expertise of students from across Ireland in the building environment. Teams of four students from 11 universities from across the island of Ireland will face the ultimate challenge: a three-hour window to analyse 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.
