Carbon storage in net zero construction products

We are excited to invite you to participate in our upcoming Summer School on Carbon storage in net zero construction products, which will take place from May 26-29, 2025 on the island Zlarin, Croatia.

The doctoral school is organised in the framework of the ASCCENT project, a twinning project between the University of Zagreb (Croatia), KU Leuven (Belgium), Aalborg University (Denmark), RISE (Sweden) and Holcim (France). The school will focus on topics of mineral carbonation, LCA and the industry perspectives for net zero construction products.

Through a series of lectures, hands-on workshops and discussions, early-stage researchers will gain valuable insights into cutting-edge technologies, policy frameworks and real-world applications that are driving the transition to a low-carbon built environment.

Please find attached our flyer at the link below with further details on the program, keynote speakers and registration information. Participation in the school is free of charge for PhD students (except for travel costs, which each student must cover themselves).

Participation in the Summer School is limited to 15 participants, so don’t miss this opportunity! Secure your spot by completing the application form.

We look forward to welcoming you to Zlarin!
