The Construction Technology Center of the Region of Murcia (CTCON) had the honor of participating in the prestigious international conference SCMT6 - Sustainable Construction Materials and Technologies Conferences, held from June 9 to 14, 2024 at the University of Lyon, Ecole Nationale des Travaux Publics de I'Etat (ENTPE) in Lyon, France. This event is one of the most relevant worldwide in the field of sustainable materials and technologies in construction, bringing together experts, researchers and professionals from various parts of the world.
The conference, which has ISSN in both print and online formats under the title "Sustainable Construction Materials and Technologies", covered a wide range of topics crucial to the future of sustainable construction. Among the topics discussed included the capture of carbon dioxide, the design of structures with sustainable materials, energy management during the construction and use of buildings, the reduction of greenhouse gases, the end of life of materials that They can be disassembled and reused or recycled and the analysis of the life cycle of the materials. In addition, new material production technologies and innovative construction techniques were explored, as well as waste recycling and the use of by-products in construction materials.

In this framework of innovation and sustainability, our colleague Fernando Fernández presented an article titled "Effect of High Gypsum Contents in Mortars Made with Portland Cement and Alkali Activated Slag". This study examines the impact of high gypsum content in mortars made from Portland cement and alkaline activated slag, providing valuable conclusions on the durability and sustainability of these materials in construction applications. Fernández's research stood out for its focus on improving the quality and durability of construction materials while maintaining sustainability standards, a central objective for CTCON. Their research not only underlines CTCON's ability to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in sustainable building materials, but also reinforces our commitment to innovation and continuous improvement in the sector.

Participating in the SCMT6 has been an invaluable opportunity for CTCON, since this congress is a forum where the latest scientific and technological advances are shared, the current challenges of the sector are discussed and new avenues for sustainable development in construction are explored. In addition, the conference allowed our team to establish contacts with other professionals and academics, facilitating future collaborations and joint projects. These alliances are essential to continue driving innovation and applying new ideas in our practices and technological developments.

At CTCON, we are firmly committed to sustainability and research into materials and technologies that contribute to a greener and more efficient future. Participation in events such as SCMT6 is an integral part of our strategy to remain at the forefront of innovation in our sector. Through research and development, we seek not only to improve the quality and durability of construction materials, but also to reduce the environmental impact of our activities and products.
Fernando Fernández's success at SCMT6 is a testament to the dedication of our team, as well as the effectiveness of our research initiatives. We will continue to support and encourage participation in international events, convinced that the exchange of knowledge and experiences is key to progress and sustainability in construction.
