Introductory note to the symposium by Raoul de Parisot, President of ATILH & Anne Bernard-Gely, Director General of ATILH:
“For 200 years, cement has always accompanied the growth of our company. At the heart of an innovative and dynamic concrete industry, cement is constantly improving its processes to offer constructive solutions that serve the general interest.
"The Future of Cement", an international scientific symposium organized to mark the bicentennial of the discovery of the laws of cement hydraulicity, will demonstrate, in a post-COP 21 context; the commitment of cement to sustainable construction and the contributions of concrete to this paradigm: less CO2, and less energy but with still more performance, safety, comfort and aesthetics.
A committed partner involved in the transmutations of both construction and urbanism, the cement-concrete sector presents real environmental benefits through a circular economy model based on resource proximity, sustainable and responsible procurement, industrial ecology and durability of the final product.
This international symposium is the very expression of the vitality of our industry, and we are delighted to invite the members of the scientific community from all over the world to discover the latest innovations in cement and concrete”.
