Eng Webinar | Next-Generation Structural Rehabilitation: Ideas, Challenges, and Visions of Young Researchers, 23 September 2026
Message from the webinar Chair:
Welcome to this Eng webinar on “Next-Generation Structural Rehabilitation: Ideas, Challenges, and Visions of Young Researchers”. Today, we bring together three outstanding early career researchers who are pushing the boundaries of structural engineering. Their work spans from innovative composite materials for masonry and concrete strengthening to bio-based sustainable solutions and seismic resilience strategies. We will explore cutting-edge approaches to assess, strengthen, and rehabilitate existing structures in the face of modern challenges. I am delighted to chair this session and look forward to an engaging discussion.
Date: 23 September at 3:00 p.m. CEST | 9:00 a.m. EDT | 9:00 p.m. CST Asia
