Over 30,000 people from more than 120 countries find our university to be a place that promotes independent thinking and an environment that inspires excellence.

The Chair of Infrastructure Management’s mission is to improve the construction and management of infrastructure with special attention focused on the improvement of decision making from general planning for entire networks to detailed planning for specific projects.
More specifically, we believe that substantial increases in the net benefit of our infrastructure are possible by automating much, if not all, of the infrastructure management process, leaving decision makers with only the tasks to decide their goals and constraints, how they value outcomes, and the analysis and continual improvement of the process itself.
