WTA-Days 2024 in Brno
Dear members of the WTA International,
Dear guests of the WTA International,
We would like to cordially invite you to the WTA Days 2024 on 14/15/16 March 2024 in Brno. In addition to the General Assembly of WTA International, a WTA Colloquium will also be held again, this year together with the already established "International Conference on Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of Buildings (CRRB)" of WTA-CZ.
Parallel to the General Assembly of WTA International on the afternoon of 14 March 2024, WTA-CZ is offering two events. Firstly, the "Best Practice-WTA CZ" conference and secondly, the first part of the CRRB.
In the evening, the WTA International invites you to the traditional WTA event.
Friday will then be dedicated to the WTA Colloquium and the CRRB.
The main topic of the conference is the rehabilitation and reconstruction of buildings. In particular, the conference is dedicated to new building materials and technologies. Energy saving, environmental impact and the preservation of cultural heritage will be in the focus. In many cases, attention will also be drawn to the use of secondary raw materials.
We are particularly pleased to be able to offer another excursion on Saturday. Our colleagues from the WTA-CZ have selected three interesting destinations: Villa Tugendhat, the historical centre of Brno and the AdMaS research centre.
