The Laboratory for Trans-border Cooperation on Green Concrete was created in 2020 as a recognition of a long-standing collaboration between the universities and several research centres from Bordeaux and the Basque Country.

The strategic objective of the LTC-Green Concrete is catalysing the research carried out within the Euroregion Nouvelle-Aquitaine Euskadi Navarra in the field of cement-based materials science and technology, with the aim of becoming a European reference on this field.

The LTC-Green Concrete is also part of the LTC-Sarea, created in 2021 to enhance the multi-disciplinary collaboration between the members of all the LTCs, and participates actively in other collaboration initiatives like the ENLIGHT European University.

WORKSHOP – SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS FOR ENERGY AND CLIMATE SOLUTIONS 2026

The workshop aims to be a discussion forum for exploring current scientific and technological possibilities offered by sustainable materials for energy and climate purposes. Special attention will be given to new solutions based on concrete and cement-based materials. The workshop addresses complex issues with innovation potential at the interface of science, environment, technology and society. The workshop is economically supported by the Transborder Laboratory of Cooperation (LTC) Green Concrete and the projects NaturSeaPV (GA 101084348) and CSINC (GA 101223135), both funded by the European Commission.
