On March 16, 2018, in cooperation with partners of the AdMaS Center, a full-day excursion of students of Building Materials Engineering (branch M) took place in the production plants of CETRIS, CIDEMAT and Cement Hranice. Students had a unique opportunity to get acquainted with individual technologies of cement, cement-bonded chipboard, terrazzo and concrete paving.
In the days of 9.1.-10.1.2018 and 14.3.-15.3.2018 there were seminars in the AdMaS area, dedicated to theoretical training and practical laboratory training in the basic training course of the nuclear power plants staff of the ČEZ corporation. The theme focused on the properties of the building materials and the possibilities of their testing, including the use of state-of-the-art methods (including computer tomography, electron scanning microscopy and others).
On March 12, 2018, TV station ČT 1 reported on the closure of the footbridge in Kromeriz in the Evening reports and in the Events in Regions program. The AdMaS team, headed by doc. Klusacek, is working to assess whether the footbridge is safe for use.

Between the presentations, a short excursion of the AdMaS Center was carried out in pavilions P1, P2 and Hall H.
At the turn of January and February, a workshop for technical supervisors on site called “Checking and testing the properties of concrete and its components during construction” was held at the AdMaS Center . It dealt with concrete technology and testing its properties. Prof. Hela and dr. Hubacek presented their knowledge of the modern technology of ordinary concrete and informed about the concrete components and special types of concrete applied in specific conditions. Also, part of the program was an assessment of concrete parameters according to the requirements of the standards and the regulations. The issue of testing the properties of fresh and hardened concrete was discussed, including detailed practical examples of individual tests in laboratories.
TV program ČT1 called Events in the regions was on 5 February 2018 devoted to truck traffic around the city of Brno and its associated noise in neighboring municipalities. In the report, employees of Center AdMaS, prof. Hela, doc. Zach, Ing.
