RECONMATIC FINAL CONFERENCE
From Waste to Value: Digital and Automated Solutions for Circular Construction
Save the Date | 27–28 May 2026
We’re pleased to announce the final conference of RECONMATIC: “From Waste to Value: Digital and Automated Solutions for Circular Construction”.
Over two days, we will present the results of a 4-year research project and explore key topics shaping the future of circular construction, including:
-
Digital solutions for C&D waste reduction and avoidance
-
Automated and digital solutions for end-of-life buildings
-
Innovation strategies for digitisation and circular construction
-
C&D waste sorting and automation
-
Life-cycle management and assessment
-
RECONMATIC’s training platform for circular construction
We will also welcome the Circular DigiBuild project as a guest contributor, presenting its research outcomes.
Taking place as a hybrid event in Prague & online, the conference is co-organised by RECONMATIC, Circular DigiBuild, the Circular Construction Cluster, Czech Technical University in Prague - CVUT , INCIEN and Future Needs.
Please note that onsite participation in Prague will be by invitation only, while the event will also be streamed online, with registration open to all interested participants.
