Abstract submission is now closed
Deadline for submissions was 24 April
Authors will be notified of the acceptance of their abstracts in June 2025.
Authors are kindly invited to submit maximum 300 word abstracts through the online submission system.Title of your abstract: not more than 25 words.
Authors are requested to specify under which of the 6 mentioned themes their contribution belongs.
Authors are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts on R&D projects, as well as on lessons learned and real case studies from practice. Papers comprising the above and which address how their contributions help to fulfilling relevant UN sustainability goals, e.g. in the form of quantifiable emission and/or material reduction, or in the form of prolongation of structural service life will be prioritized.
THEMES
