44th Cement and Concrete Science Conference

This two-day meeting is an annual opportunity for scientists and engineers from both industry and academia to come together to discuss the latest developments in our field. The meeting's residential setting and its tradition as a forum for the presentation of the very latest research encourages informal and stimulating discussion.

The conference is relevant to researchers working on cement and concrete science and anyone interested in finding out the latest research in this important subject. We particularly encourage early career researchers to attend, but the content should be of interest to anyone interested in the latest research and innovation in cementitious materials or involved with infrastructure development and associated research.

Presentations are welcomed from students working on collaborative projects with industry partners and sponsors. In these cases, industry partners are encouraged to get in touch to explore opportunities for exhibiting at the conference to showcase their work and sector.

Topics

• Microstructure, mineralogy, and properties of cementitious systems
