CTBUH 2019 Student Research Competition

BRIEF

The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) is now accepting proposals for its 2019 Student Research Competition – culminating with an award of $20,000 to be recognized at the CTBUH 2019 World Congress to be held in Chicago, from October 28 to November 2, 2019.

The goal of the 2019 Student Research Competition is to assist talented students, working in groups under the guidance of a professor, to focus on a relevant research question, and create an engaging output as a response. Research proposals should directly relate to the 2019 topic of “Sustainable Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat”. Proposals can come from any topic/discipline. It is up to the students to interpret the theme, and outline how their research will address it, including how the funds will be used to support the intended outcome. In fact, the ultimate objective of this award is to give the chance to students of any discipline to immerse, for the first time, in detailed, academic research, under the guidance of a professor, in a topic that the students are particularly interested and invested in.
