Abstract (English)
Digitalisation is changing the Real Estate and Facility Management industry. Challenges arising from digitalisation do not only concern companies, but Academia has a key role to play in their dynamization. In this context, the Erasmus+ Project "FMgoesDIGI" studies trends and digital technologies that will have the biggest influence on FM and deepens the question, how to provide knowledge and skills to future professionals. A worldwide survey was designed to assess the perception of the maturity of "digital" technologies in Facility Management among industry representatives and academics. Through international workshops with professionals and digitalisation specialists, the results of the work performed have been analysed, leading to interesting conclusions. The study provides multiple and varied information on the technologies, and the differences in perception between industry and academia. The paper will however focus on the conclusions on how to train the knowledge and skills of future professionals on the most promising technologies identified, in which some innovative teaching methods can be key drivers for successful learning. This paper helps to identify the most promising technologies that we should incorporate into the curricula of future professionals and how to make their learning more effective with innovative educational methods.
