🤝 European public-private partnership in the construction sector: our participation in the ECOH conference
On Friday, 21 November, TESELA had the opportunity to participate in a conference organised by ECOH (Spanish Association of Eco-Sustainable Concrete) at the Higher Technical School of Building Engineering at the University of Granada. This event brought together researchers, professionals and companies committed to promoting innovative solutions for more sustainable construction.
As a scientific and technological entity, ECOH plays a fundamental role in promoting new methodologies, materials and strategies that enable progress towards a more efficient and environmentally friendly construction model. Therefore, participating in this type of space is a key opportunity for TESELA to share knowledge, forge alliances and strengthen the link between science and industry.
During our presentation, we outlined TESELA’s perspective on innovation applied to the construction sector, placing special emphasis on our experience in European projects. International collaboration, especially between companies and public research bodies, is an essential tool for accelerating technology transfer and the adoption of sustainable solutions. In this context, we presented three notable forms of participation and collaboration:
🔹 Horizon Europe Pillar 2 programmes: Focused on global challenges and industrial competitiveness, they offer great opportunities to drive transformative projects.
🔹 LIFE Programme: The European Union’s main instrument for climate action, environmental sustainability and the circular economy.
🔹 EUREKA intergovernmental programmes: A flexible framework geared towards business collaboration applied to technological innovation.
TESELA would like to express our gratitude to ECOH for their invitation and for the excellent organisation of the event. We would also like to acknowledge the valuable contribution of all the speakers and attendees, who shared their experiences and insights on R&D&I in sustainable construction.
