FIDIC Academy invites course participants and other stakeholders from across the global infrastructure sector to share their views each year, helping us understand evolving learning needs and identify priorities for future courses and training topics.

Our 2026 Stakeholder Market Research Survey closes on 18 November. It takes 10 minutes, and the answers we get directly decide which courses, formats and topics go into next year’s calendar, so a quiet response means those decisions get made without your input.

As a thank you, five participants will win an Individual STARTER Live Skills Pack, including free entry to two FIDIC contract courses, worth up to 36 CPD hours, more value than most single courses on their own.

⏰ Six days left.

Climate ambition is not enough. Delivering it is what matters.

FIDIC heads to COP31 in Antalya to make the case for the essential role of consulting engineers in turning climate commitments into resilient, low-carbon and sustainable infrastructure.

From carbon management and climate resilience to nature-positive infrastructure and sustainable finance, we’re bringing engineering expertise, practical solutions and global partnerships to the heart of the climate conversation.

Basma Eissa, FIDIC Global Head of Policy & Advocacy, will speak at four sessions. She will join Architecture 2030, GIB and RICS on decarbonising infrastructure for 1.5°C, the launch of the UNIDO Carbon Market for Development Partnership, IRF, UIC and ICSI on resilient land transport networks, and CDRI on infrastructure resilience in mountain regions. Her focus will be on whole-life carbon management from early planning through delivery, risk-informed investment, and quality-focused procurement through FIDIC contracts and Qualifications-Based Selection.

FIDIC will also observe two ministerial meetings, on green freight corridors and on buildings and climate.

On 18 November, we host our official UNFCCC side event, From Climate Ambition to Implementation, jointly with WFEO, ICLEI, ECREEE and GRP, opening with a keynote from Samantha Stratton-Short, Chief Climate Officer at UNOPS.

Wednesday 18 November, 15.00 to 16.30 TRT (13.00 to 14.30 CET)

We’re delighted to announce that the FIDIC Carbon Management Guide and Carbon Emissions Management Guidance have been shortlisted to be put forward to member countries of the Intergovernmental Council for Buildings and Climate (ICBC) for Acknowledgement at #COP31, in the Whole Life Cycle Carbon category.
The documents were presented alongside other leading initiatives at a joint webinar on 7 October.

How they work together:

🔹 Carbon Management Guide: sets the framework for managing carbon across a whole project, helping clients set a carbon target and track emissions across every contract involved.

🔹 Carbon Emissions Management Guidance: applies that framework to each FIDIC contract, with the clauses needed to measure, report and manage carbon from design and construction through to operation.

Why it matters:
FIDIC contracts are used on projects in more than 170 countries. The collection can be used immediately, for pilot use in public procurement. FIDIC is ready to support these pilots.

Patrimonio. A word built from two Latin roots, pater for legacy and munus for gift and duty. 

Rome has carried that duty for nearly two thousand years, every road, aqueduct and bridge a patrimonio handed down and renewed.

Infrastructure works the same way. What today’s engineers deliver is a gift to the people who will use it and a duty to get it right.

Join FIDIC and OICE in Rome for FIDIC GIC 2027, and take up that same patrimonio together.

QBS is a competitive procurement approach in which consultants are evaluated on their qualifications, experience and technical competence. The paper explains that price is negotiated at a second stage, after the preferred consultant has been identified

The FIDIC QBS Paper finds that QBS projects consistently outperform national performance averages in key project metrics. In a 2022 study of United States public projects, overall project cost growth on QBS projects was 3%, against a national average of 6%. Schedule growth was 7%, against 10%.

The paper also states that selecting engineering consultants primarily on price often creates a false economy.
