The event will look at recent innovations in the development of composite materials for use in the construction industry and include case studies of multiple projects where FRPs have been successfully used, and why. There will also be a session in which delegates can air their questions to a room full of academics and composite industry individuals to discuss current issues in the industry. There will be a tour around the National Composites Centre at the end of the day for UK nationals.
