Keraben Grupo continues to give priority to R&D and innovation, on this occasion by taking part in a new European project, LIGHTCOCE, aimed at the development of lighter weight multi-functional building materials. Behind the project is a consortium of 26 partners, including research centres, universities, technology suppliers and industries from 9 different EU member states. Spain is represented by 5 different bodies, including Keraben Grupo and the Institute for Ceramic Technology (AICE-ITC according to its Spanish acronym).

Keraben Group has decided to sponsor the second "MATERPLAT Young Innovators in Materials Awards", which seeks to recognise and promote training for new, innovative professionals in materials science and technology in Spain.
