The Swedish group in CIB/IABSE/RILEM has decided to issue an international certificate to persons who wish to obtain such a certificate and who are regarded as meeting the necessary requirements: that their academic qualifications and working experience show that they can be expected to be well suited for work on international projects.
The purpose of the international certificate is to:
- Bring home to the Swedish building sector the importance of participating in international projects through design, construction, operation and maintenance, as well as the importance of research and development.
- Raise the profile of the international expertise that exists in Sweden at the level of individuals.
- Provide a useful reference for the individual concerned.
- Encourage recruitment of new members to CIB, IABSE and RILEM, i.e. the Swedish CIR group.
