Estonian researchers have created a low-cost and environmentally friendly building material out of rice hulls, a byproduct of rice processing. The new material is currently being tested in Kenya, where small-scale residential houses for a new capital city are built from it.
Estonia will present a series of presentations at the EXPO Dubai 2020 next month about education, personalized medicine, the smart city and the circular economy. Discussions on the same themes have been created as podcasts ahead of that event. The first of these, which can be listened to below, looks at innovation in education.
