3D TRCs - Young Researchers Competition 2025

Published on October 10, 2025 Updated on October 10, 2025

Ciska Gielis has been selected for the Young Researchers Competition 2025.

We are glad to share that the research of our PhD researcher, Ciska Gielis, on microfibre-enhanced 3D Textile Reinforced Cementitious composites (3D TRCs) has been selected for the Young Researchers Competition 2025, organised by Groupement Belge du Béton (GBB) / Belgische Betongroepering (BBG). The competition includes both a jury award and a public award, and for the latter, your support would be truly appreciated!

Curious how combining short synthetic microfibres with 3D textile reinforcement in cement-based materials can lead to more resource-efficient and durable construction materials? Check out Ciska's video and poster presentation on the BBG/GBB website via the following link: https://www.gbb-bbg.be/fr/concours/young-researchers-competition/.

Vote for Ciska’s research via https://forms.gle/CoZ6sPh8JRB47P7LA. Voting closes at 4 PM on October 16th, with the winners announced during the annual Concrete Day the same day.

Thank you for your support!
