The recent Cement and Concrete Science Conference was a great success, with 65 delegates from 13 different countries presenting the latest advances related to the study and use of cementitious materials, to academics, students and industry.

There were over 30 oral presentations and 9 posters presented, with the Agar microscopy award for the best micrograph presented to Rachel Taylor (University of Leeds) and the Ardex award for the best student presentation presented to Klaartje de Weerdt (Sintef, Norway).

Finally the evening of September 8^th featured the Inaugural Lecture of Professor Ian Richardson, entitled 'A Closer Look at the Built Environment's "Glue"', followed by a brief buffet and wine reception.

Selected presentations will be uploaded onto the conference website:

The committee's mission is: "To provide support and educational activities for those who have an interest in the science and technology of traditional and specialist cements and concretes".

The committee membership is drawn from UK industry and academia.

It organises the annual 'Cement and Concrete Science Conference' and circulates a bi-monthly newsletter by email.
