DFG funds CARE Cluster of Excellence

We are thrilled that our unique project CARE - Climate-Neutral and Resource-Efficient Construction, which was launched in cooperation with RWTH Aachen University under the leadership of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Viktor Mechtcherine from the Institute of Construction Materials of TU Dresden and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Claßen from the Chair and Institute of Structural Concrete at RWTH Aachen University was approved yesterday by the German Research Foundation (DFG) as one of 70 clusters of excellence in Germany and one of five clusters at TU Dresden!

It is a great honour and pleasure for us to be given this opportunity after an intensive preparation and application phase, which has already started in 2021. With the support of the DFG, we can drive forward our work in the field of climate-neutral and resource-efficient construction with full energy - a topic that is more important today than ever.

A big thank you goes to all the contributors and supporters who have made this project possible, as well as to the DFG and the reviewers for their confidence in our vision.
