Committees

The Technical Committees are the heart of the scientific activity of the association. The main forum where RILEM members meet and exchange their expertise. RILEM TCs play a major role in furthering scientific knowledge.

WHAT IS A RILEM TC?
A group of international experts working together in a particular field in order to:
      assemble and evaluate research data
      harmonise testing methods
      suggest new topics for research (this research not to be directly undertaken by RILEM TCs)
and to promote their conclusions by publishing recommendations, technical reports or state-of-the-art reports for test methods or construction practice.

Role of the RILEM clusters
A RILEM TC is in direct connection with a RILEM Cluster. This body is entrusted with co-ordinating and monitoring RILEM TC activities, and to advise the RILEM Technical Activities Committee (TAC). This co-ordination is convened by Clusters’ conveners.
