Practicalities of the transfer of information from research to practice
Abstract
Building research is not seen as a distinct research activity in Germany; support for it is decentralized. Access to research findings can adopt several routes, even though it is often not considered a priority; building research results have to be made known actively. Several structures are in place to distribute information, and Fraunhofer Informationszentrum Raum und Bau (Information Center for Building and Planning) - IRB plays a key role in collecting together and then disseminating the information - systematically. Marketing research reports is important and is done through carefully structured IRB reference publications. Providing an information consulting service is also an important way to disseminate knowledge.
