1st Implementation Day

The first implementation day is organised jointly with BASt, the German Federal Highway Research Institute, in Bergisch Gladbach (Germany), on Tuesday, the 20th of March 2018. The day after (21 March 2018) is the national symposium organised by BASt, and dedicated this year to smart structures. One focus of the symposium is on the results of the research project SMART DECK, an intelligent, multifunctional amplification and protection system for bridge decks.
