    LafargeHolcim Forum (Symposiums)

    The LafargeHolcim Forum for Sustainable Construction is a tri-annual series of conferences on a specific topic of sustainable construction, conducted in collaboration with the Foundation’s associated universities. The multi-day event is an academic platform for architects, engineers, planners, and construction specialists of all generations and geographic locations.

    In addition, the LafargeHolcim Forum provides master and PhD students appointed by the Foundation’s associated universities with an opportunity to network with some of the world’s leading professionals. This dialog brings the visions of young professionals to the symposium. Each LafargeHolcim Forum is complemented by the release of academic publications. Since its inception, the Foundation has conducted six Forums. The 6th International LafargeHolcim Forum, dedicated to the topic of “Re-materializing Construction”, was hosted by the American University in Cairo (AUC), Egypt. It took place from April 4 to 6, 2019.
