Companion Proceedings of EFMIC 2020

Download the individual papers of the companion proceedings of the European Facility Management International Conference 2020 on this page.

The idea for this companion proceedings was kicked-off by the recognition of Prof. Mark Mobach and his team when they were awarded in November 2019 the ‘Delta Prize’, a leading practice-oriented research prize handed by Ingrid van Engelshoven, Minister of Education, Culture and Science, in their home country, The Netherlands.

This companion proceedings consists of 16 short papers divided into 4 themes:
– Insight to Campus Design
– Healthcare Facilities – A Patient View
– Aspects on Healthy Working and Living
– Facility Design in the Context of Society
All papers are structured in the format of extended abstracts.

New papers will be posted daily until 1 October. On this date all papers will be presented during the 4th EuroFM Stay Connected Session. More information can be found here.

A New Life Inside – Call for Presentations

How our needs shape the future of the built environment

The Portuguese Facility Management Association will host its 14th Annual Conference in 2020.
