SBE19 Brussels - BAMB-CIRCPATH “Buildings As Material Banks – A Pathway For A Circular Future”
The Consortium of the BAMB Project invites you to take part in the event SBE19 Brussels - BAMB-CIRCPATH “Buildings As Material Banks – A Pathway For A Circular Future”.
SBE19 Brussels - BAMB-CIRCPATH “Buildings As Material Banks – A Pathway For A Circular Future”
The Horizon 2020 EU-funded project BAMB – Buildings as Material Banks - brings 15 partners from 7 European countries throughout Europe together for one mission: Enabling a systemic shift in the building sector by creating circular solutions. Since the end of 2015, BAMB has been developing and integrating tools that will enable the shift to a circular built environment: Reversible Building Design tools and Materials Passports – supported by new business models, policy suggestions, management and decision-making models. In addition to testing developed BAMB tools, design, manufacturing and construction innovations as well as the environmental and economic benefits of circular buildings have also been investigated through six real-life pilot projects.
You are invited to participate in the 3 days of the BAMB-CIRCPATH event.
The 1st day will be an industry day during which the Consortium will celebrate the results of the project through interactive sessions. This day will be an opportunity for all stakeholders of the construction sector to learn more about what BAMB has achieved, provide feedback, exchange views on what is next and share the steps achieved on the pathway towards a circular future. The participation in this part of the event is free of charge but subject to early registration for logistics purposes.
The 2nd and 3rd days will be dedicated to a scientific conference on the pathways towards a circular economy in the building/construction sector. This international conference intends to bring together researchers and industry experts from the entire world to exchange their ideas and research and showcase advanced innovative technologies and methodologies for the built environment.
