International Partners

Partners are mostly associations or organisations similar to RILEM. They sign a MOU and agree on various collaborations with RILEM. The purpose of the relationship with Partners is to create information exchange between RILEM and industry partners who share similar values and interests, and to increase both partner’s opportunities to network in academia and practice. Staff members of Partners typically do not get directly involved in RILEM technical work such as Technical Committees, etc.
