We would like to sincerely thank Philips, Lafarge and Saint-Gobain/Isover for financial contributions that allowed us to extend 30 scholarships to students and professors who applied by explaining 1) why they want to attend the Build Green CEE conference and 2) How they will disseminate the information learned during the presentations.
Their support will certainly extend the impact of our conference for many years to come and is tangible evidence of their commitment to a market transformation towards sustainable development.

The U.S., U.K. and Canada have one… So do Germany, Brazil, India, the U.A.E and more… Poland and Vietnam are on their way…
SOPOLEC and EcoNavitas will present at the conference an invitation for companies and organizations to join us as founders of a Romanian Green Building Council. As we will discuss the basic steps and qualifications necessary to become an officially recognized chapter of the World Green Building Council, it will be a good opportunity for our friends from surrounding countries to get informed of the process and consider forming additional chapters.
