The 2018 Concrete Research Innovation Forum, was an opportunity for industry and academia in Victoria to meet, discuss common issues and develop the Victorian knowledge base for concrete.
The event was designed to provide a platform for leading product specialists from the cement, aggregates and concrete industry to meet with principal academic researchers from around Victoria. In doing so, both can be informed of the issues current in industry, and learn of the breadth of research being undertaken into cement and concrete in Victoria.
