Retrospective and preview

摘要

Between 19.-21.05.2014, the 4th International Conference on Calcium Aluminate Cements (CAC) was held in Avignon/France. Organized by Cement ft Concrete Science from Southwater, West Sussex/ UK, Charles Fentiman and Raman Mangabhai and their crew could welcome about 200 guests from 25 countries worldwide in the Conference Centre of the famous medieval Papal Palace. In her welcoming address, Karen Scrivener from EPFL in Lausanne/Switzerland gave a look at the history of the CAC conferences before she opened the event, which soon started with numerous lectures. These were divided into eleven groups, of which only a few examples are to be mentioned later in this text.
