Get to know us The Team behind CARE

Together for a sustainable and innovative Construction Industry

Our mission is clear: we want to rethink how we build. To achieve this, we bring together experts from engineering, computer science, psychology, and beyond. This diversity of perspectives enables us to overcome today’s limitations in construction and open the door to groundbreaking innovations. With the Cluster of Excellence CARE, researchers from TU Dresden and RWTH Aachen University are once again joining forces. CARE builds on years of extensive and successful collaboration between the two universities.

Together, we are shaping the next generation of sustainable and resilient building materials and structures. In doing so, we pave the way for transformative, future-ready construction industry.
