A major mission of ECTP is to develop a sectoral Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) to identify the challenges that the built environment and construction industry has to take up and propose R&I pathways to achieve them. This SRIA identifies and describes the future R&I priorities for developing and rolling-out the solutions that will help taking up the societal, environmental, industrial, and technological challenges faced by the industry and the built environment, in a policy and regulatory framework that constitutes a strong driver. This SRIA aims to ensure that the construction sector will, in the long-term, secure its competitiveness and sustainability, whilst the built environment will provide secure, safe, and smart living places for all citizens in Europe.
