On 29–30 September, partners in the CRESTIMB project will gather in Ljubljana for a two-day consortium meeting hosted by the University of Ljubljana. This face-to-face format provides an ideal setting to review ongoing progress, share research findings, and set strategic priorities for the next phase of work.
The sessions will focus on strategic coordination and substantive discussion. These meetings are essential for precisely aligning our efforts and ensuring the smooth implementation of project objectives under Horizon Europe.
A key item on the agenda is deepening collaboration with our hosts. As Slovenia’s largest and oldest university, the University of Ljubljana contributes exceptional specialist expertise in materials engineering to the project. The advanced numerical models developed by their research team make it possible to forecast the long-term behaviour of timber, which tangibly enhances structural reliability and supports the sustainable development of modern construction.
Meetings of this kind highlight the fundamental importance of direct international collaboration. Working together face-to-face stimulates the exchange of ideas, strengthens team synergy, and establishes a cohesive direction for future action.
