Sustainable, Innovative and Future-orientated Constructions
How we build today will shape the world of tomorrow – ecologically, economically, and socially. Conventional concrete and cement account for around 80 percent of building materials worldwide – and are responsible for more than eight percent of global CO₂ emissions.
To address these challenges, scientists at TU Dresden and RWTH Aachen University are working together in the Cluster of Excellence CARE. Their research focuses on climate-friendly building materials, new construction principles, and advanced manufacturing technologies – always with digital innovation and sustainable framework conditions in mind.
Five specialized research areas are working on a common vision: The building of the future should be designed to be durable, efficient and responsible - with scalable, affordable and climate-resilient solutions for worldwide application.

Stronger together
CARE – Climate-Neutral and Resource-Efficient Building stands for a shared vision: shaping the construction world of tomorrow in a sustainable and future-oriented way. To achieve this, researchers from TU Dresden and RWTH Aachen University, led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Viktor Mechtcherine and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Claßen, combine top-level expertise from diverse disciplines.
This interdisciplinary approach enables them to challenge existing boundaries in construction, open up new pathways, and drive innovation. The result: solutions that make the building processes more ecological, efficient, and resilient – and that provide key contributions to tackling today’s global challenges.
