In March 2006 RILEM organized an internal workshop in Madrid under the title 'Making RILEM more attractive'. Among the topics discussed was the publication of proceedings and books. It was concluded that the content and the quality of proceedings from RILEM conferences and the state of the art reports produced by the technical committees of RILEM are of high quality. At the same time it was felt that the visibility of the material should be enhanced by making the content freely available on the RILEM website. This has been implemented in the following months.
