Euroconstruct announces the forthcoming 60th Conference in Barcelona, organised by its Spanish partner: the Catalonia Institute of Construction Technology, ITeC.

Conference dates
	28 and 29 November 2005

Venue
	The Conference will be held at the Hotel Condes de Barcelona, in the very heart of Barcelona and particularly in a location -the Passeig the Gràcia- where "Modernisme", Catalonia´s exuberant brand of Art Nouveau, reached its peak. Just across the street from the Conference site, we find Gaudi's masterpiece of urban residential housing -Casa Milà, also known as La Pedrera- and just a short walk seaward, another of Gaudí's finest: Casa Batlló. www.hotelcondesdebarcelona.com

Structure and contents
	Monday, November 28th \| Welcome evening The evening will begin with a visit to the Sagrada Familia, a chance to see not only Gaudi's most acclaimed icon, but also a singular construction site where some of the most advanced building techniques are being used to materialise the models left by the architect after his premature death almost 80 years ago. The Modernist architectural atmosphere will also continue during dinner, in the former Baró de Quadras Palace. Tuesday, November 29th \| Conference day The conference will open with a series of presentations by Euroconstruct member institutes on the outlook over the next three years in the European construction markets: with the focus on housing, non-residential and civil engineering construction. The afternoon session after dinner will be a special discussion on the particular area of building renovation. In the context of a building market facing many uncertainties as to its near future, we can see that the renovation business has the potential to act as a counter-cyclical shock absorber. This said, the renovation market has a profile of its own, quite different from that of new construction. The session will deal with the complex mix of agents in this field -from big construction firms involved in major rehabilitation work to individual DIYers- in order to offer a clearer picture of who is driving the renovation sector. That will be supplemented by an analysis from the point of view of materials suppliers, and how "thinking small" may be the key for attracting a growing public of consumers that need the same materials as large contractors, but in smaller quantities. Finally, we will share the experience of construction companies that have opted for renovation specialitation and have found a profitable market niche.

Languages
	Presentations will be either in English or Spanish, with simultaneous translation.

55th Euroconstruct Conference, Budapest Hungary

Outlook for the European Construction Sector to 2003-2005
Budapest, 6-7 June 2003

Special Topic: Eastern European Construction Markets beyond EU Accession

Which are the advantages of an EU accession for the construction market
• in Eastern Europe?
• in the current EC-member countries?
• outside the EU?

Euroconstruct bears an outstanding importance in Europe as the only forum for the co-operation of 19 western and eastern European research institutes in the construction sector. Twice a year Euroconstruct organises an international conference with the aim to provide decision makers in the construction, real estate and investment markets with information, analyses and forecasts to plan business strategy more powerful, more effectively and always up to date. The 55th Euroconstruct conference took place in Budapest, Hungary on 6-7th June. The conference was organised by Build&Econ, Hungary and by the Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO).

This unique construction forecast conference provided:

• Strategy. The Euroconstruct conference focused on the emerging opportunities of the new rapidly growing construction market with more than 350 million inhabitants. Facts, construction environment, experiences and trends were presented by top Eastern and Western European experts.

• Documentation. All delegates received a comprehensive documentation of construction indicators and the macro-economic performance of Euroconstruct's 19 member countries up to 2005. The construction indicators covers the three main construction sectors: residential construction, non-residential construction and civil engineering. Lectures of the conference are also included. For further country specific information special in depth 'Country Reports' can be ordered seperatly (also available for the Baltic countries).

• Resources and contacts. The conference offered an opportunity to meet top decision makers in the construction industry, financial and real estate experts, international banks, the leading contractors and building material producers from all over Europe.
