About The Event
The conference aims to promote the exchange of ideas and experiences in the conceptual and structural design of reinforced concrete structures, with a strong emphasis on the active involvement of young designers and researchers.
Now in its fifth edition, the conference has established itself as a truly international forum, following successful events held in Madrid (Spain, 2019), Solothurn (Switzerland, 2021), Oslo (Norway, 2023) and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil, 2025).
By bringing together engineers, researchers, academics, manufacturers, investors, and developers, the conference provides an open platform for dialogue on innovative and sustainable approaches to concrete design, highlighting their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals.
Key Topics:
- Conceptual design for existing structures
- Infrastructures
- Buildings
- Architectural heritage
- Conceptual design with new materials and advanced production techniques
- Conceptual design addressing multi-purpose social needs
