The Fourth International Conference for Postgraduate Researchers of the Built & Natural Environment (PRoBE) will take place at Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow, Scotland from the 19th to 20th November 2009.

The main purpose of this Glasgow Caledonian University CIB Student Chapter supported conference is to provide an avenue for postgraduate researchers in academic institutions in Scotland, and beyond, to share and exchange research information and knowledge in the areas of the built & natural environment. It should also help to enhance research and presentation skills for up and coming researchers. Papers reporting work in progress are especially welcome. Papers should have well defined research aims and objectives, and discuss research strategy and methodological issues.
