be-READY – REsilient roAD pavements for sustainabilitY

The deterioration of roads is one of the biggest challenges in infrastructure management. How can we achieve sustainable pavement solutions?

Researchers and professional from the public and the private sector from Norway and Portugal share their experiences in different aspects contributing to sustainable pavement solutions during a 3 days’ workshop held at Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet).

Information about the REsilient roAD pavements for sustainabilitY (civilresearchgroup.ulusofona.pt).

Iniciativa be-READY já arrancou! (information in Portuguese, eeagrants.gov.pt).
