LC3

ICCCSC 2026, Cape Town
2026-02-04 - 2026-02-06 | Breakwater Campus of the University of Cape Town, Breakwater Campus, Cape Town, South Africa
Improving the sustainability profile of cement and concrete has become a decisive focus for fostering socially responsible development. Consequently, reducing the carbon footprint of concrete has gained increasing and widespread attention in research, development and industry.

The use of calcined clay in concrete production continues to gain momentum internationally and is widely considered the most promising solution for reducing the clinker content in concrete, consequently minimizing its carbon emissions and promoting sustainable construction. The timely International Conference on Calcined Clay for Sustainable Concrete (ICCCSC) was held in Switzerland (2015), Cuba, (2017), India (2019) and China (2024), serving as a key platform for discussing developments and application of low-carbon, sustainable cement technologies.
The 5th ICCCSC will take place in Cape Town, South Africa, covering topics related to low-carbon cement production, performance evaluation, application opportunities, case studies, latest research and development in LC2 and LC3 technology, and environmental efficiency. The focus will be on sustainable concrete technology and application, addressing production and quality control, fresh and hardened concrete properties, service life modelling, current and future developments, practical applications, and more.

We hope to bring together researchers, practicing engineers, cement producers, infrastructure managers, concrete technologists, students, and the supporting industry from around the world to share knowledge and experience on current developments in sustainable cement and concrete technology, and to identify future trends, application potential and further research required to support sustainability in the construction industry of the future.
The venue will be the Breakwater Campus of the University of Cape Town situated in the heart of Africa’s most popular tourist destination, the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town. The city of Cape Town and its surroundings are widely considered among the most beautiful places on the planet and the organizers of ICCCSC are looking forward to welcoming their guests to a vibrant, colourful and cosmopolitan environment.

Sustainable Buildings and Construction Summit
2026-04-20 - 2026-04-22 | SwissTech, Rte Louis Favre 2, Ecublens, Vaud, 1024, Switzerland
Building on the success of the first Global Forum on Buildings and Climate held in Paris, France, two years prior, the Sustainable Buildings and Construction Summit 2026, is a landmark international forum. It brings together a diverse coalition of stakeholders, thought leaders and innovators from academia, government, industry, and civil society to reimagine how we build and live within planetary boundaries. Convened by EPFL’s Centre for Worldwide Sustainable Construction in collaboration with UNEP as the host of the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC), the Summit aims to catalyse action on one of the most pressing challenges of our time: transforming the built environment into a driver of environmental sustainability through holistic approaches that seamlessly integrate resilience and socio-economic factors.
The GlobalABC Annual Assembly 2026, Intergovernmental Council for Buildings and Climate (ICBC) Technical Meeting (TBC), along with Buildings-Cement-Steel Breakthrough Meetings (TBC) will take place at the Summit. As the leading global platform for a zero-emission, efficient, and resilient buildings sector, the GlobalABC Annual Assembly will unite 380+ GlobalABC members from across the public and private sectors to celebrate achievements, share best practices, and set bold priorities for the year ahead.
