The Department of Building Materials Technology works on research projects in the construction laboratory in co-operation with partners from industry and in collaboration with other universities. These projects are partly financed by the clients and partly by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency FFG. In addition, projects financed internally by the CUAS are also ongoing.
You can find a complete list of all projects here.
