Workshop: The way forward for the Eurocodes implementation in the Balkans
10th and 11th October 2018, Tirana
The Eurocodes are state-of-the-art, Europe-wide standards for the structural design of buildings, bridges and other construction works. The workshop “The way forward for the Eurocodes implementation in the Balkans” was organized by the JRC on 10-11 October 2018 in Tirana. Approximately 100 participants (policy-makers, National Authorities & National Standards Bodies representatives, academics and civil engineering practitioners) attended the workshop. Lecturers and participants came from 12 different EU Member States and 8 non-EU Balkans countries. The workshop was an opportunity to collect and share the experience of several EU Member States in the Eurocodes implementation in their national regulatory system. Representatives from the participating Balkan countries presented the state of the Eurocodes implementation at national level and reported on the challenges faced. The round table discussion identified common challenges faced by the Balkan countries in the way-forward for the Eurocodes implementation and good practices were discussed as possible solutions. The workshop served as an opportunity for the JRC to present the concept of creating a Eurocodes Community of Practice (CoP) in the Balkans.
