The RECONSTRUCT communication team

During the last General Assembly in Brussels, partners of the RECONSTRUCT project had the chance to visit the VUB campus and laboratories (and finally see some sandwhich panels made of recycled concrete!) But that's not all! They also attended the Hub Kick-Off event, which was part of EU Green Week 2025.

Designing for reconstruction to avoid tomorrow's waste: an article by journalist Diego Giuliani reflecting on the Dutch Pavillion at the EXPO in Osaka and featuring key quotes and insights from the RECONSTRUCT team at ITeC.

In line with the project's visual identity, through its innovative circular shape, RECONSTRUCT's leaflet provides comprehensive yet concise information on key aspects of the project: main objectives and features, benefits to stakeholders, partner information, and contact details.

Join RECONSTRUCT and its fellow projects for their social media campaign for World Bio Product Day on 7 July: look for #BuiltTroughNature on social media!

The RECONSTRUCT family is growing! openDBL has joined the cluster of our sister EU projects. These collaborations aim to share knowledge and promote new results through joint events, social media campaigns, and much more. Discover more about our new fellow project!
