Prof. Curbach stands equally for interdisciplinarity, internationality and successful technology transfer and is an astute and profound contributor to the university's committees. Prof. Curbach has held the professorship for concrete structures at the Faculty of Civil Engineering since 1994 and has been a member of the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina since 2013 as well as spokesperson for the BMBF consortium "C³ - Carbon Concrete Composite". In 2016, he was awarded the German Future Prize, the Federal President's prize for technology and innovation.
