Three days of inspiration and innovation in the heart of Saxony!
As our cluster speakers Professor Martin Claßen and Professor Viktor Mechtcherine highlighted, "Collaboration is not a distraction – it is a multiplier". This sentiment drove the event. Individual work gains additional impact through the collective context. Prof. Karin Lundgren (University of Chalmers, Gothenburg) delivered an inspiring keynote by sharing insights on sustainable structural engineering.
Equally inspiring were the presentations by our international guests: John Provis from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Professor Sisi Zlatanova (University of New South Wales, Australia), Professor Josephine Carstensen (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT) and Professor Ulrich Schwaneberg, biotechnologist at RWTH Aachen University. Their emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration and joint research was very well received by all those present.
The "CARE Research Ecosystem" prominently featured on day two, with detailed sessions across our five Research Areas. Prepared presentations by our Research Area Leaders and CARE members ignited discussions, helping to identify shared interests and challenges – crucial for our mission to transform the construction industry.
