This two-day event supports in-depth discussion of current research in the field of lean construction, and offers students an opportunity to: (1) collect feedback on their research and presentation styles, (2) engage in discussion with leaders in the lean construction community, and (3) meet their peer students researching similar topics.

The school is organized to foster discussion – students have 20 minutes to present, followed by 15 minutes of discussion.
