Our joint proposal on “Sustainable use of excavated materials from civil engineering and tunnel construction using sensor-based technologies” was granted by the  Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG). The project starts in 2024. Two Ph.Ds will be hired and jointly supervised with the chair of subsurface engineering and the chair of waste recycling technology and waste management.  More at https://cps.unileoben.ac.at/nachhaltige-nutzung-von-aushubmaterialien-des-tief-tunnelbaus-mithilfe-sensorgestutzter-technologien-nnatt/ .
