Abstract

All the world as well as our conference faced to the pandemic in 2021. Therefore, the 24th International Conference on Building Materials, Products and Technologies (ICBMPT 2021) had to be postponed from the usual date in June to the new date 29th September to 1st October 2021.The participants appreciated our choice to organize the conference again in the beautiful town of Telč in the Czech Republic, which is popular with many tourists, because it belongs to the cultural heritage under protection of UNECSCO.Despite the difficult situation, the organizers from the Research Institute for Building Materials collected 23 interesting papers among research workplaces in the Czech Republic and abroad. The conference brings not only interesting presentations, but also it creates a platform for scientific discussions and proposals of new mutual projects.The main topics of ICBMPT 2021 were: Inorganic binders, Composite materials, Building materials based on secondary raw materials and Technology and test methods in building industry. Also, several keynote speakers were attracted to contribute to our conference. Besides the conference program, there was a possibility to take part in the specialized workshop Healthy buildings with many interesting topics, among others asbestos treatment and biodeteriogens in building environment.We would like to thank all the participants for their valuable contribution to the conference. We would like to express our gratitude to the reviewers for their time, valuable recommendations and constructive evaluation, in order to guarantee high quality of all the papers. We are looking forward to the next conference in better times!List of Scientific committee, Editors, are available in this pdf.
