BIM (K) Now!: An ecosystem that combines training, vision and people
The project BIM (K) Now! confirms a dynamic platform capable of putting university, businesses and territories in dialogue Through a multidisciplinary approach and an accessible narrative, which focuses on the people and values of collaboration.
These events have demonstrated the effectiveness of a training model that integrates Theory, practice and innovationgiving space to young people and strengthening the link between academic knowledge and the production world, and have shown how digitalization in the construction sector cannot be separated from the construction of a shared culture of the project, in which people, technologies and strategic vision proceed together. Bim of the future is built today. And it is built together. The next appointment, the first edition of Bimeet & Greet, will be held in Brescia in October.
