The school was organised within the framework of the ASCCENT project, a twinning initiative between the University of Zagreb (Croatia), KU Leuven (Belgium), Aalborg University (Denmark), RISE (Sweden), and Holcim (France). The program focused on mineral carbonation, life cycle assessment (LCA), and industry perspectives for net-zero construction products.
Over four days, participants engaged in a dynamic program of expert-led lectures, hands-on workshops, and interactive discussions. The sessions addressed cutting-edge approaches to carbon storage, sustainable construction, and the transition toward a low-carbon built environment, while fostering academic growth, interdisciplinary collaboration, and knowledge exchange.
The repository on Zenodo (link) contains the lectures and training materials presented during the summer school, including:
- Summer school booklet – Carbon storage in net zero construction products(Doctoral summer school Zlarin.pdf)
- Bruno Huet (HOLCIM) – Global industrial perspective for net-zero production (Low CO2 materials and Cement.pdf)
- Ruben Snellings (KU Leuven) – Advances in mineral carbonation science and technology for the production of construction materials (Advances in mineral carbonation science and technology for.pdf)
- Massimo Pizzol (AAU)- Life Cycle Assessment of net-zero buildings and construction products (Dynamic LCA.pdf, Life Cycle Assessment of net-zero buildings and construction product.pdf, Program LCA_Summer school.pdf)
- Jan Suchorzewski (RISE) – Working together with the construction industry for implementation of net-zero innovations: methodology and successful project examples (Implementation of net-zero innovations.pdf)
