The present disclosure relates to a method for curing a heat-curable material (1) in an embedded curing zone (2) and an assembly resulting from such method. The method comprises providing a heat-conducting strip (3) partially arranged between a component (9) and a substrate (10) that form the embedded curing zone (2) therein between. The heat-conducting strip (3) extends from the embedded curing zone (2) to a radiation-accessible zone (7) that is distanced from the embedded curing zone (2) and at least partially free of the component (9) and the substrate (10). The method further comprises irradiating the heat-conducting strip (3) in the radiation-accessible zone (7) by means of electromagnetic radiation (6). Heat (4a) generated by absorption of the electromagnetic radiation (6) in the heat-conducting strip (3) is conducted from the radiation-accessible zone (7) along a length of the heat-conducting strip (3) to the embedded curing zone (2) to cure the heat-curable material (1) by conducted heat (4b) emanating from the heat-conducting strip (3) into the embedded curing zone (2).
