'Tillmann Klein' Award
The event marked a special moment for the Circular Built Environment Hub. Last June, Professor Tillmann Klein, the initiator and head of the Circular Built Environment Hub, passed away. To honour Tillmann, the Materials & Components scale award has been named after him. From now on, the award on that scale will be called the 'Tillmann Klein' Award. The first 'Tillmann Klein' Award has been presented to Samanwita Ghosh.
