NEx Opens Annual Call for Suggestions

NEx: An ACI Center of Excellence for Nonmetallic Building Materials solicits a call for suggestions every spring, and we are accepting new suggestions for the 2027 project cycle now! 

This is the first step in the process that determines NEx’s future projects and creates an opportunity for industry leaders, manufacturers, and researchers to guide the future of nonmetallic advancement by providing insights and direction. The call for suggestions aims to identify knowledge gaps in nonmetallic building materials and the areas that need the most urgent attention. 

As we continue to grow our initiatives and expand our reach, we want to ensure our work reflects the needs of the groups NEx aims to impact.

💡 What We’re Looking For:

• Future webinar topics

• New document proposals

• Research project suggestions

• Training and certification needs

• Demonstration project concepts

• Partnership or outreach opportunities

Whether you're an engineer, researcher, contractor, educator, or materials innovator, your perspective can help shape the future of nonmetallic solutions.
