How can Europe transform its transport infrastructure into a truly circular, low-carbon and sustainable system? This was the key question at the heart of the session “Circularity: from methods to infrastructure” during the 11th February afternoon programme of RTR Conference 2026, where the coordinator David García Sanchez presented the latest results of the LIAISON project. […]
On Thursday 5 February 2026, the Torroja Lecture Hall of the Eduardo Torroja Institute of Construction Sciences hosted a Torroja Seminar dedicated to innovative and sustainable construction materials, showcasing some solutions developed within the framework of the LIAISON project. Titled “Geopolymers and High-Performance Concrete: Two Innovative and Sustainable Alternatives in Construction”, the seminar brought together […]
This year again, LIAISON will take part in the RTR Conference 2026 from 10 to 12 February 2026 in Brussels; the Conference on results from Road Transport Research is one of the leading European events on road transport innovation, sustainability, and impact. The project coordinator David Garcia Sanchez from Tecnalia will contribute to the parallel session […]
On Tuesday 13 January, a major milestone for sustainable transport infrastructure was reached in Cantabria, where the first road paved with bioasphalt was officially opened to traffic. The pilot section was implemented within the LIAISON project along the N-623 road, in the municipality of Revilla de Camargo. The experimental installation consists of a 60-metre section […]
A new video from LIAISON partners at École des Ponts ParisTech’s highlights the design, development and circular-economy implications of optimised reinforced concrete beams — a key output of the LIAISON project’s ambitions to making Transport Infrastructure more sustainable. In the video Jean-François Caron, a researcher at the Navier Laboratory of École des Ponts ParisTech outlines […]
The LIAISON consortium gathered in Gijón, Spain, on 18–19 November 2025 for a productive two-day meeting hosted by ZITRÓN. With partners joining both onsite and online, the meeting provided an important opportunity to review progress, address emerging challenges, and coordinate the project’s final phase. The discussions began with an overview of the project’s general progress, […]
Dubrovnik, 20 October 2025 – The LIAISON project was represented at this year’s DIM-ESEE 2025 – Development and Innovations in Mineral Resourcing conference, held from 15–17 October in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Mateja Štefančič from the Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute (ZAG) presented pioneering research on how industrial by-products can be used to enhance the […]
The European project LIAISON – Lowering transport environmental impact along the whole life of the future transport infrastructure – is gearing up for its 4th Stakeholders Reference Group (SRG) workshop, set to take place online on November 13th at 9:30 CEST. Project partners have outlined a rich and engaging draft agenda for this next SRG […]
On 26 September 2025, the European Researchers’ Night was celebrated across the continent, welcoming more than 1.5 million people of all ages into museums, universities, and research institutions in 460 cities across 25 countries. Visitors had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of science through games, discussions, experiments, and a wide range of […]
LIAISON project partners at TECNALIA introduce a cutting-edge, AI-driven method to monitor bridges at asset level with higher precision—and it’s already making waves in structural health monitoring. Bridges are some of the most important parts of our transport system, but checking their safety is not always easy. Engineers usually rely on inspections and traditional sensors, […]
The LIAISON project is helping to make Europe’s transport systems more sustainable. A new study by project partner Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute shows how giving railway tracks a “rubber boost” could make them last longer and reduce waste. Railway ballast – the layer of crushed stones beneath the tracks – plays a […]
Earlier this month, the LIAISON consortium met in Rome for the project’s fourth General Assembly. Hosted by Autostrade per l’Italia at the Villa Fassini Training Center, the two-day meeting on 10–11 June brought together partners from across Europe to check in on progress, share updates from the field, and make sure everything stays on track […]
