Weimar Workshop to Turn Syria's War Rubble into Reconstruction Resources
An international workshop is set to take place in Weimar, Germany, on April 24 and 25, 2025, focusing on recycling resources from Syria's war rubble for reconstruction. Around 100 actors from science, business, and politics, including the United Nations, are expected to attend. The event is organized by Landesentwicklungsgesellschaft Thuringia (LEG) and the 'Innovationszentrum Bau - Weimar'.
The workshop aims to tackle the significant challenge of Syria's war-torn infrastructure. Around two million buildings have been destroyed, presenting an opportunity for sustainable reconstruction. Prof. Dr. Aref Al-Swaidani, a key figure in the event, sees potential in networking and knowledge exchange, particularly in the areas of circular economy and recycling facilities. The event seeks to assess technical and political challenges in construction waste management and develop sustainable recycling concepts for Syria's urban reconstruction.
Following the workshop, a scientific conference is planned for late 2025 in Syria. This conference will be supported by international partners such as GORD, iiSBE, UNDP, and UN-Habitat, as well as the Republic of Korea and other committed stakeholders. Prof. Tom Lahmer shares an optimistic outlook for Syria's future, emphasizing the importance of sustainable reconstruction planning.
The upcoming workshop and conference highlight the international community's commitment to Syria's recovery and development. By exploring sustainable recycling concepts, these events aim to turn war rubble into resources for Syria's reconstruction, paving the way for a more resilient future.
