4th International RILEM Conference on Microstructure Related Durability of Cementitious Composites

Considering current situation of COVID-19 in the Netherlands and in European, it will be very difficult to organize a physical conference in the end of April in the Hague. Furthermore the conference has already been postponed two times. The conference organizing committee has decided to change the Microdurability conference to an online conference.

Learnt from other successful online events, it would be very hard for participants to sit the whole day in front of screen in three consecutive days. Thus the plan is to organize the Microdurability conference as a series of webinars throughout the month of April and May. In each series, three parallel sessions within 2 hours are planned. Each parallel session may contribute to a specific topic. There are 7 presentations in each session. Every presentation lasts 15 min (12 min pre-recorded video + 3 min live Q&A). A deep discussion is expected in the end of each session. Preliminary schedule of the conference is listed in Table 1.
