Profile of construction managers’ education, responsible for cooperation in the field of construction in the EU, developed differently in different countries. Project is the continuation of the finished LdV CLOEMC I (PL/06/B/F/PP/174014, set of 7 created manuals. That project created first 7 books for Construction Managers’ Library. CLOEMC I manuals are commercially published on PL market, in respond to demand from construction engineers. Second set of next 6 manuals was written in the CLOEMC II project (finished in December 2011 – project No: 2009-1-PL1-LEO05-05016). Third set of 6 new manuals was written in the CLOEMC III project (finished in February 2014 – project No: 2011-1-PL1-LEO05-19888). This Project foreseen creation of six new manuals for Construction Managers Library: Revitalisation and refurbishment in Construction; Building Information Modeling – BIM; Optimisation of Construction Processes; Diversity Management in Construction; Structural Mechanics for Construction Managers; Corporate Social Responsibility in Construction. Appearance on the European market of Construction Manager Library, containing full compendium of managerial knowledge in construction will promote a social dialogue, concerning adjustment of education profile for the needs of labour market. In order to decrease unemployment and increase level of managerial knowledge in construction, there is a need to educate people having qualifications and competence to run a business, which will in the end increase employment. Therefore, after project’s completion it is planned to improve postgraduate complementary courses in management, which will allow certification and assure recognition of competence according to agreed European policy concerning promotion of transparency of qualification (EuroPass), in the form of title EurBE (European Building Expert). Partners in the project (universities: WUT, DARM and RU) got experience in preparation of didactic materials for different types of courses, as well as informal learning. Professional associations (AEEBC, PSMB and CIOB) got experience in recognition of qualifications in construction and certification of managers, including EurBE card. One of the partners, AWBUD is a construction company which add industrial flavor to the project. Project will start with preparation of website and first dissemination materials. Then content related contents of each manual will be created and tested with use of multiplier events E1-E5. After improvements of content related contents first draft of text will be prepared and tested with multiplier events E6-E10. Results of the testing will be taken under consideration and final texts in English will be prepared (and proofread). Then manuals will be translated to Polish, Icelandic and German, printed and burned on CD or DVD and uploaded to internet as open source. Project will be summarized by final international conference - multiplier event E11 in Warsaw.
