UP 4 GREEN CONCRETE (UP4GC) is an Erasmus+ co-funded project, with the participation of 7 partner organisations from France, Italy, Greece, Poland, and Estonia. The partnership gathers together VET providers, vocational associations, non-governmental organizations, and an SME expert in the development of educational material.

The project’s main objective is to qualify current and future professionals for a holistic approach to concrete buildings and renovations that combine energy efficiency and quality of life, to advise on technically and socially oriented approaches, eg. for better air quality and ease of use.
