 Dienemann (HeidelbergCement\, DE)\nNanocem\, founded in 2004\, is a consor
 tium of 23 academic (among them EPFL) and 11 industry partners all interes
 ted in fundamental research into the nano and micro-scale of the phenomena
  that govern the performance of cements and concrete. With its unique coop
 eration between the industry and the academic community Nanocem has identi
 fied common issues and has helped map the research needs for sustainable c
 ement and concrete.\nDuring the last ten years\, Nanocem has funded fourte
 en Core Projects\, long term fundamental research projects carried out by 
 two or more partners. The academic partners have shared the results of som
 e seventy Partner Projects. There are some 120 academic researchers in the
  team who\, between them\, are in the process of managing some 60 PhD and 
 PostDoctoral research projects in related areas. Two Marie Curie Actions T
 raining Network projects funded within European Framework Programmes 6 and
  7 have been awarded to subgroups of Nanocem.\nNanocem is now recognised a
 s the world reference for quality research in cementitious materials.\nTo 
 celebrate Nanocem 10th Anniversary\, a meeting open to all players of the 
 construction industry will be held 8th April\, 2014 in Lausanne\, Switzerl
 and.\nAt this open meeting\, some of the key achievements of the network w
 ill be presented. Among them:\n\n		 Thermodynamics modelling to quantify 
 hydrated phases in cement\;\n	\n		State-of-the-art experimental technique 
 Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance to characterize pore structure at the na
 no-scale\;\n	\n		Modelling technique such as atomistic modelling\;\n	\n		I
 nfluence of admixtures on cement hydration\;\n	\n		Reactivity of blended c
 ements\;\n\nA comprehensive poster session will highlight selected Nanocem
  research projects.\nThe venue is the Starling Hotel Lausanne\, Route Cant
 onale 31\, Saint Sulpice\, Switzerland
