A Croatian engineering student from Pazin just placed third at the Eureka IIEC international competition after developing concrete that fixes its own cracks. Ivan Sloković created ConCure through a partnership between Zagreb's Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology, plus the National Technical University of Athens, and the stuff actually handles corrosion problems in reinforced structures by patching itself up.
The competition brought together 20 teams from around the globe, and other Croatian entries scored decent results across different categories. Universities and startups are pumping out legit innovation instead of leaving everything to corporate labs and research facilities with massive budgets.
