The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) Priority Programme 2436 (SPP 2436) officially started with a kick-off event on November 21 and 22, 2024, at the Darmstadtium Conference Center in Darmstadt. This landmark gathering brought together leading researchers to set the stage for groundbreaking innovations in sustainable construction materials.

Under the framework of SPP 2436, 15 scientific research projects proposed by 12 of Germany's top universities will collaboratively work towards developing innovative solutions for achieving net-zero concrete.

The two-day event featured insightful presentations, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, fostering collaboration among participants from diverse academic and industrial backgrounds. With the shared goal of pushing the boundaries of material science and engineering, the SPP 2436 promises to be a transformative step toward revolutionizing the construction industry.

Stay tuned for updates as these projects progress and contribute to a more sustainable future!
