Research Training Course on lime and lime-based matrices (Granada) 22-26 November.

Research Training Course on lime and lime-based matrices (Granada) 22-26 November.

A Research Training Course (RTC) will take place in Granada, Spain: RTC1-Part1: Properties of lime and lime-based matrices: Fundamentals and testing between 22^nd and 26^th November 2021.

SUSTAINABLE BUILDING LIME APPLICATIONS VIA CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOMIMETIC APPROACHES

The SUBLime Network (SUstainable Building Lime applications via Circular Economy and Biomimetic Approaches) focus on developing sustainable innovation solutions for lime mortars/plasters in new construction and conservation of the built heritage.

The project covers the main features of lime-based applications in the masonry construction its innovations are focused in both added functionalities and sustainability aspects, strongly based on novel biomimetic and closed-loop recycling approaches.

Within the scope of this Research Network, this Research Training Course (RTC) will take place in Granada, Spain, from 22nd to 26th of November.

The Consortium decided to make most of the training course available to everyone, allowing to live stream the classes.
