How can nature-based materials and intelligent monitoring systems make the infrastructure of the future more resilient and sustainable?

The symposium will feature presentations and discussions of RHESIS's project concepts. The focus will be on innovative approaches to stabilizing slopes, embankments, and structures using plant-based systems, biological processes, and biopolymer-based materials. These concepts will be complemented by modern digital methods such as sensors, photogrammetry, and AI-supported analyses for precise monitoring and evaluation of the systems.

Through the interdisciplinary combination of geotechnics, biodiversity research, biopolymer chemistry, geoinformation and computer science, RHESIS opens up new perspectives for resource-efficient, climate-adaptable and resilient infrastructures.

The symposium provides space for professional exchange, discussions and the joint further development of the presented concepts.
