CIRIA is an independent association covering construction research and innovation in the UK. It has some 700 separate organisations subscribing to one or more of CIRIA's categories of membership.

CIRIA's activities span the market sectors

• Buildings and facilities
• Transport
• Water and utilities

Working both within and across these market sectors, the themes of work have a broad coverage topical to construction. All our work is member-driven, and the ensuing dialogue between the various interest groups, coupled with the rigorous and proven processes employed, ensures that the results are soundly based, taken up and implemented throughout the industry.

CIRIA has a global reach and is engaged in dialogue with the majority of leading construction research organisations and universities, both in the UK and overseas.

While much of the work benefits from competitively-won public sector funding, CIRIA maintains a provision of 'club-funded' projects aimed at building understanding between contributors in key areas of concern, such as Knowledge Management and Performance Indicators of Design. In addition to publications and electronic materials, CIRIA also provides training seminars and workshops based on the results of its project work.

It is currently developing practical guidance to encourage greater use of crops in construction, covering existing use of crop-derived materials in areas such as geo-textiles, insulation, light construction materials, paints and wall finishes, floor coverings and boards as well as bio-composites and starch-based products.
