Sustainable Construction & Innovation through Procurement
The SCI-Network connects public authorities looking to procure innovative and sustainable solutions within their construction projects.
The public sector is responsible for 40% of EU construction activity. Buildings are responsible for 36% of EU CO2 emissions.Public sector construction therefore needs to be sustainable and innovative.
The SCI-Network aims to:
- jointly identify new construction solutions, and
- examine how best to encourage innovation in construction procurement
Five working groups have been set up to achieve this - see here for more information.
Participants of the SCI-Network are registered on the Discussion Forum, a dedicated space for working group exchanges.
