Connected by BIM
an international summer school where students learn from industry mentors
on a BIM project scenario, and a conference on where BIM is heading.
Students across Europe, from architecture to engineering, MEP and urban planning, team up for a week on one complex BIM project.
Leading companies guide each student team. Students learn how real projects work, and companies meet their future talent.
Two days of talks, panels and networking where architects, engineers and industry leaders discuss where BIM is heading.
One week, one team, one complex BIM project. You'll work with future architects, engineers and urban planners from across Europe.
A top company from the industry takes your team under its wing for a whole week. It's the closest thing to a job before you graduate.
Teams go head to head all week. On the last day, every team presents its project to a live audience and the best ones win prizes.
Sharpen your skills in Allplan, SCIA, Bimplus and other professional tools, with short training sessions built into the workshop.
Leave with a certification that proves your BIM skills, a strong addition to your portfolio that makes your CV stand out to employers.
Top students from our courses can earn a free spot at the event, with scholarships offered by our partners and professional associations.

"The BIM Challenge made me realize how little I actually knew and how much more I still have to learn. The experience was truly unique, combining the fun of the beach with an effective hands-on learning environment. I can say that after BIM Challenge I kept the knowledge gained from AEC industry specialists, and I would definitely repeat the experience. I recommend it to anyone who is just starting their journey!"
Alexandru Lazăr, engineering student
"The BIM Challenge was a unique and really great experience that is absolutely worth it! I learned a lot, both technically and personally. Everyone involved in this project made me feel included, and I managed to build some wonderful friendships. Everything I learned about the software tools is valuable for the future and truly useful information. I recommend it to anyone in a technical field!"
