Jason H. Ideker Research Group
Concrete Materials Research at its Finest
28 March 2026
Join in for the kickoff of the North American Technical Resource Center for Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) at WJE. LC3 Day will be spent hearing from industry, researchers, and practitioners about scaling up LC3 for full deployment in the North American Market. Dr. Ideker will be giving a talk related to the suitability of LC3 for prevention of alkali-silica reaction.
The next conference on Calcium Aluminates will be held in Lausanne, Switzerland at the Swiss Tech Convention center on the EPFL campus. Please join us for this wonderful scientific, networking, and collaborative event form 8-11 June 2026.
The next ICAAR Conference is scheduled for 2028 in Bahía Blanca, Argentina.
10-12 August 2026, Medellín, Colombia
We are headed to Medellín, Colombia for our next installment in the Corvallis Workshop Series. We’ll be partnering with Dr. Juan Lucena from the Colorado School of Mines and Dr. Carlos Mauricio Bedoya from Universidad Nacional Colombia.
This event will bring together multiple perspectives involved in the many phases of construction and demolition waste (CDW) to increase the benefits of its use across different sectors of society and places in the environment. The main goal is to create and exchange new knowledge across sectors that will contribute to education, public policy, and professional and corporate practices involved in sustainable construction.
Due to the nature of this special collaboration which focuses on capacity building and collaboration in Medellín, attendance is by invitation only.
We just hosted the 4th Corvallis Workshops and Doctoral Shortcourse – “Concrete Fit for Purpose and Planet”. We will follow up with a Special Issue of CEMENT following the same theme. All the details can be found here on the CEMENT website.
