The Consortium of  BAMB Project is pleased to invite you to join “BAMB-CIRCPATH” event “Buildings as Material Banks – A  Pathway for a Circular Future” that will be held in Brussels on 05 to 07 of February 2019.

 The first day of the BAMB-CIRCPATH event will be a day of celebration during which the Consortium will present the results of the project through interactive sessions. This first day will be an opportunity for participants to learn more about what BAMB has achieved, provide feedback, exchange views on what’s next and share in celebrating the steps achieved on the pathway towards a circular future. The attendance at this part of the event will be free of charge, but subject to early registration for logistic purposes. Registration information will be provided on the BAMB website at a later date.

 The 2^nd and 3^rd days of the event 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 researchers and industry experts from the entire world together to exchange their ideas and research and showcase advanced innovative technologies and methodologies for the built environment.

 Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit their abstracts of no more than 250 words by the 1^st of July 2018 at the latest.

 The conference papers will be indexed in Scopus or Web of Science.
