Details

Rapid projects support government departments to understand the scientific evidence underpinning a policy issue or area by convening academic, industry and government experts at a single roundtable. The summary meeting notes seek to provide accessible science advice for policymakers. They represent the combined views of roundtable participants, and are not statements of government policy.

This note summarises an expert roundtable held in November 2023, covering research questions that would directly enable a risk-based approach to ‘living with Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC)’ across the built environment. This included understanding what new research is already underway to avoid duplication of effort, and agreeing a prioritised research agenda for tackling relevant evidence gaps about RAAC, such as the viability of non-invasive testing methods and other potential mitigations.
