On October 15, 2024, representatives from nearly all project partners gathered online for the opening meeting of the ASCCENT project. This significant event marked the official launch of the project and set the stage for its successful implementation.

The meeting agenda covered key project activities, including exploratory projects, mobility initiatives, and round robin tests. Participants also received important information on project management and deliverables. A highlight of the meeting was an inspiring presentation by Prof. Ruben Snellings, titled Mineral Carbonation Products: Construction Materials of the Future?, which provided valuable insights into sustainable construction materials. Another milestone achieved during the meeting was the scheduling of the ASCCENT Summer School, set to take place on the island of Zlarin from May 26 to 29, 2025. The topics for PhD student lectures were also determined, ensuring an enriching academic experience. Additionally, the meeting facilitated discussions on the first steps and tasks necessary for the smooth implementation of the project.

With a strong start, the ASCCENT project is now set in motion, promising impactful research and collaboration in the field of mineral carbonation and sustainable construction materials.
