ROADCON is a proposed Accompanying Measure to develop a Strategic Roadmap for future RTD projects and supporting measures in the Construction industry. It is concerned with preparing, from a strategic point of view, future research and developments for ICT in Construction, ensuring that companies from the building and civil engineering sectors achieve maximum business benefits from ICT solutions in the knowledge economy. It is also concerned with harmonising these benefits with environmental issues and quality of life of European citizens. The roadmap will support world-class collaborative research. It will provide mechanisms to ensure that research results are applied in practice in the European Union. It is intended that the strategic roadmap will lead to the development of an 'integrated initiative' to support the needs of the construction industry.
