Community of Practice

Join the conversation on concrete research and development

The SmartCrete CRC has established three communities of practice in line with its three research themes to support Australia’s concrete ecosystem in its transition to net zero.

Each community of practice will share principles and practices that promote and support research and innovation in sustainable design, development, use and reuse of concrete.

Every month we bring together key stakeholders from academia and industry to create a platform for collective learning across the concrete ecosystem.
