Now that LIAISON is nearing the end of the journey, what have we built along the way in our demos? The project is launching #LIAISONimpact, a campaign focusing on the solutions developed throughout the project and their potential impact on society. Through a series of video interviews and in-depth articles, the campaign will highlight technologies […]
A new approach to road construction is taking shape thanks to a prototype pavement developed by ACCIONA using innovative geopolymer concrete. The system consists of precast slabs designed to replace traditional cement-based materials with a binder derived from industrial by-products such as fly ash and steel slag. Through a chemical activation process, these materials form […]
The 5th and final online LIAISON Stakeholders Reference Group workshop will be organized on April 23rd at 9:15 am CEST. During the workshop, the most relevant solutions that have been applied to the demonstrators and their results will be presented and discussed. Presentations include: Towards Zero-Carbon Roads: A First-of-a-Kind Full-Scale Demonstrator of Smart Precast Geopolymer Pavements with Real-Time Traffic Load Monitoring. […]
Within the LIAISON project, researchers are designing a modern, digitalised, efficient transport infrastructure that reduces resource consumption and environmental impact through circular and low-carbon solutions. To address these challenges, the innovative thermoelectric concrete solution transforms conventional cement-based materials into functional infrastructure elements that generate electricity via the Seebeck effect. By converting temperature gradients into low-power […]
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 […]
