CCC HISTORY
The four founding countries - Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic and Hungary - decided in 2004 to cooperate more closely and to launch the CCC as a forum for an annual cross-border exchange of experience among principals, authorities, contractors, design engineers and academics in the field of construction materials and technology, concrete structures and civil engineering, as well as applied research and development. Poland joined the group in 2012 as a member country forming the current organization of CCC.
