Almada Negreiros’ quote, “Until today I was always the future”, was the motto for the 3rd PTPC – Portuguese Technological Platform for Construction Forum, which took place on 28 March 2014, at LNEC.
The 3rd Forum allowed a closer approach between universities, companies in the construction sector and public administration entities, seeking to take advantage of synergies with a view to innovation in the construction sector. The purpose of the debate was to outline a concrete path for the future, in order to draw the greatest benefit from the relationship between these partners.
“What is the strategy for the future of construction?”, “What is the role of the Portuguese construction industry in “Horizon 2020″?” or “How to respond to the impetus of a stronger Europe to compete in a global market?” were some of the questions debated by the event’s panel, which reflected on the next steps in the construction sector.
