Inaugural Lecture - Professor Milan Radosavljevic

Join Professor Milan Radosavljevic, Vice-Principal of Research, Innovation & Engagement as he virtually delivers his UWS Inaugural Lecture on Wednesday 21 April 2021 from 4pm - 5pm (BST).

In his Lecture - which will also involve some opportunity for audience questions – Prof. Radosavljevic will be exploring the topic of:

Chaos, Black Swans & Purpose

It seems obvious that a single unpredictable event can change everything and while many often think of something monumental, it is far easier to miss most of these ‘events’. This is a personal reflection on the past 30+ years of seemingly random walking through time that has taught a lesson on how to thrive when exposed to uncertainty.

Professor Milan Radosavljevic joined UWS in December 2013 as a Professor in Civil Engineering, before being appointed to the position of Assistant Dean – Research & Enterprise in the School of Computing, Engineering & Physical Sciences in September 2014. He held the post of Associate Vice-Principal Research & Enterprise between September 2017 and May 2020, and was then appointed to his current Executive role.

He has contributed his expertise at institutions globally - including the Norwegian School of Management, Tallinn University of Technology, University of Ljubljana, Shandong University, University of Cambridge, City University London - and has developed and delivered numerous executive courses in the UK and abroad. His research track record includes predominantly industry-led projects such as Built Asset Lifecycle Intelligence (BALI); embodied energy optimisation for concrete structures; Building Information Modelling (BIM) based whole-life costing; KanBIM on-site BIM platform development; and the London Olympics 2012 Programme Management review – delivered jointly with the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and on behalf of the Olympic Delivery Authority.

Professor Radosavljevic co-authored one of the construction sector’s most comprehensive textbooks on construction management strategies, offering a clear theoretical framework to systematically improve its productivity. He has several years of leadership experience in the off-site construction sector in Slovenia and over the years has been a regular keynote or invited speaker at international industry Project Management conferences for the Energy and Construction sectors.
