ILCCC2019 – Call for Abstracts

16 August, 2018

First international conference on Innovations in Low-Carbon Cement technology issues call for abstracts

THE Construction industry has been under pressure to shift towards sustainability by manufacturing Portland cement in energy-saving ways and developing alternative low-carbon cement and concrete technology. However, industrial applications are still scarce due to the gap existing between the fundamental research and industrial use, as well as the lack of standards and a skilled work force in this area.

To address these challenges, the first international conference on Innovation in Low-Carbon Cement technology (ILCCC2019) will take place next year from 24–26 June 2019 at University College London (UCL). The conference will seek to exchange the latest global scientific and technical achievements in low-carbon cement and concrete technology, in a bid to promote their wider industrial application. The themes of the conference will include:

Manufacturing Portland cement in low-carbon and energy-saving ways
Low-carbon cement and concrete technology based on non-Portland cement systems
Chemical admixtures for low-carbon cement and concrete
Durability of low-carbon concrete
Standards and specifications for low-carbon cement and concrete.

Authors are invited to submit one-page abstracts (up to 300 words without figures and tables) for the purpose of selecting, grouping sessions and allocating oral/poster presentations. These should be submitted by 1 September 2018. Extended abstracts (four pages) will need to be submitted by 1 January 2019, prepared according to a template that will be provided on the conference website (www.ucl.ac.uk/aim). Keynotes and selected presentations will be published in a special edition of Advances in Cement Research.
