B3 at Green Transitions Day: low-carbon concrete and international collaboration

B3 news · Event highlights · 15 October 2026

Low-carbon materials and international cooperation brought B3 research into OsloMet’s conversation about the green transition.

OsloMet Green Transitions Day took place in Studenthallen at Pilestredet 52 on 15 October 2026. The university-wide programme brought research, education and innovation into a shared discussion of environmental and societal change.

From concrete to global partnerships

The research and innovation session featured Sarra Drissi with a live demonstration addressing the emissions challenge of concrete. Mahdi Kioumarsi’s contribution focused on Net-Zero Future and international research and education partnerships for lower-carbon construction.

The programme connected these contributions with work across OsloMet, including energy, health, education and student initiatives. OsloMet’s subsequent report highlights the value of making research visible across disciplines and creating opportunities for lasting collaboration.

For B3, these themes connect materials research with the wider task of reducing the environmental impact of buildings and infrastructure.
