CARE-exc

How we build today will shape the world of tomorrow - ecologically, economically and socially. Conventional concrete and cement make up around 80 percent of the materials used and cause more than eight percent of global CO₂ emissions.
In order to meet the current challenges, scientists at TU Dresden and RWTH Aachen University are conducting research into climate-friendly building materials, new construction principles and advanced manufacturing technologies, incorporating digital technologies and sustainable framework conditions, in the Cluster of Excellence CARE. Five specialized research areas are working on a common vision: The building of the future should be designed to be durable, efficient and responsible - with scalable, affordable and climate-resistant construction solutions that can be used worldwide.
