Giatec is delighted to announce the launch of the 2024 Giatec Best Paper Award Sustainability in Construction contest!
As a leading innovator in the concrete industry, Giatec has been steadily working to connect academic research and development in sustainable construction with today’s jobsites. Practicing sustainability in the industry is still a challenge, but Giatec has spearheaded these efforts through various means. One of those is our annual Net Zero Construction Conference, where we discuss and learn from top leaders in sustainable construction technologies and trends.
The Giatec Best Paper Award Sustainability in Construction contest is the perfect way for Giatec to recognize any valuable contributions to the field. Thus, submissions for this award are open to civil-engineering professors, undergraduate and graduate students, and researchers across Canada and the U.S.
This is a great opportunity for civil engineers to showcase their research to a global audience of industry experts. Plus, the winner will receive a monetary award of 1,000 USD.
Interested individuals can submit either an expository paper or a previously published article that relates to one of the following topics:
