History and evolving trends of construction colloquia on sustainability and operational research

Abstract The article presents development and trends of international cooperation between three academic centers from Germany, Poland and Lithuania. The review of results of 11 conferences have been presented: exchange of experience (1986–2008), integration of academic community, support for promotional works constitute goals of these meetings. Decision‐making methods, multi‐criteria optimization and sustainability were the subject of the cooperation. All eleven colloquiums were organized by the same researchers and there were published tens of books and more than 350 scientific articles related to the mentioned colloquia. The most important scientific trends and the results achieved are examined in the paper.
