Three plenary lectures presented current issues in research in the field of research in building chemistry. Prof. Dr. Michael Raupach (RWTH Aachen) reported on "Challenges for the building materials of tomorrow". Prof. Nikol Žižkova (University of Brno) on "Possibilities of using by-products to reduce using by-products to reduce CO2 emissions during the production of polymer-modified mortars" and Dr. Ena Lloret-Fritschi (ETH Zurich) on the the "Digital fabrication house and challenges of smart dynamic casting in 1:1 production".
