The main objective of the ECOserve Network is to identify the needs of the European Construction Industry in its endeavour towards sustainability of the industries' products and production processes.

The Network will achieve this goal by an exemplified approach addressing selected segments of the industry, i.e.

• Cement Production
• Aggregate and Concrete Production
• Design and Production of Pavements

It will be a consequential objective of the Network to define the needs for activities in the form of collateral research, political activities or large integrated projects, which may be considered vital for the desired evolution of the industry.

The Network is organised in four technical clusters and an administrative unit charged with tasks of co-ordination and overall management of the network.

This administrative unit is responsible for application of common environmental indicator systems throughout the network, for dissemination of results and extension of the network into the entire European society.

A summary of the ECOserve Network, in the form of an e-learning course, can be viewed here. A complete overview of the members of the ECOserve Network can be found here.
