RILEM SPRING CONVENTION and SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS, SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES CONFERENCE (SMSS 2019)

At the SMSS2019 conference is organised the insitute will give a presentation entitled "Pozzolanic potential of calcined clay in high-performance concrete" authored by Nancy Beuntner, Andrea Kustermann and Karl-Christian Thienel.

SMSS2019 conference is organised as a supporting event of RILEM Spring Convention. The scope of the conference is to gather scientists, practitioners, members of technical committees and users of technical recommendations, to jointly at the same place discuss and envision the future sustainable development of materials, systems and structures in a holistic, global way.

To ensure that sustainability in civil engineering is tackled in a holistic way, conference is divided into several mini symposiums / segments, with each symposium targeting a specific field within SMSS. Having segmented efforts, with their specific chairs, topics, scientific committee and allocated time during the event, will enable a platform for a detailed and focussed discussion among interested parties on a specific segment of SMSS. Having all these segments discussed during the same week at the same (beautiful) location, will ensure their interconnection, knowledge exchange and will hopefully strengthen existing and create new networks for future collaboration.
