The Concrete Association has been distributing student prizes for the sixth year already. Beneficiaries of prizes and acknowledgments will be selected from the graduations of the Estonian higher education institutions. For the first time the prize was awarded to the student at the University of Tartu.
Awards received:
Kaido Kaarna - Master's thesis "Building Materials for Fireproofing of Concrete Bricks" at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Tallinn University of Technology, specializing in Industrial and Civil Engineering.

According to Vaido Leosk, Chairman of the Board of the Estonian Concrete Association, both rewarded works are topical and have so far been poorly explored in Estonia.
The prizes are designed to promote and make study of concrete construction more effective.
At the end of the student works competition, the Estonian Concrete Association changed the rules for the issue of student prizes. The graduation thesis of all Estonian higher education students can now take part.
