The 2016 GLF-CEM was organized by Department of Construction Management at the Tsinghua University. I’d like to thank the delegates that were able to attend and contribute to the success of this year’s forum. Additionally, I want to thank the Executive Committee members for their support of this event. This year’s plenary discussion has been focused on two special topics: 1st Trends and KPI in CEM and 2nd Student Education and Young Researcher Cultivation.

I thank all the co-organizers and supporters of the conference in Beijing for their dedication and help in the preparation and during these 3 sparkling days. I wish everybody fruitful reading in this year’s report.

All successful discussions and results achieved this year are a promising basis for next year’s follow-up Forum. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again in Los Angeles, USA in 2017
