Upcoming MDPI Conferences (5)
Hybrid
The 10th World Sustainability Forum (WSF2023) will be a 24-hour event, held in 3 locations, as well as online. We believe that this will optimize worldwide participation in this global event.
The forum will have four main subjects distributed in three locations:
Kicking off in Singapore, the focus will be on sustainability for social community impact. We will then move onto Basel, where our Chairs will lead discussions on sustainability in the industry, and at university and corporate settings. Finally, our last hub in Toronto will focus on sustainability in the built environment.
WSF2023 is part of a global sustainability forum series that is organized by MDPI. As a hybrid event, it will provide scholars with the opportunity to attend the event in person at one of the three conference sites or, most sustainably, online. Arrangements have been made for a state-of-the-art online event.
We are particularly hoping to address STEM research with the social sciences and policy makers.
We look forward to welcoming you across the globe and virtually!

Infrared thermography (IRT) has been increasingly used in the past decades to assess defects and the energy performance of buildings. Despite all the opportunities it presents for a better diagnosis, its use still mainly relies on a qualitative and more superficial evaluation of the results. However, there has been an attempt to implement quantitative interpretation methodologies, which guarantee more reliable analyses. However, some issues remain a challenge for the technical and scientific community, which drives a deep reflection both on the test procedures and on the methodologies to interpret the results clearly. This webinar aims at stimulating the exchange of ideas and knowledge on the application of IRT for buildings diagnostics.

The XIX International Conference on Building Pathology and Constructions Repair (CINPAR 2023) represents an important opportunity for the acquisition of new knowledge, and for the exchange of experiences in the fields related to the rehabilitation and strengthening of structures.
For specialists in pathology and rehabilitation of structures, it is essential to have knowledge about the following: the technology of the materials used (stone, adobe, wood, steel, concrete, or other); geometric characteristics of the structures; possible tests of physical and mechanical characterization of the materials; behavior of structural elements; and solutions for rehabilitation and reinforcement.
Recently, the evolution of knowledge in the domains of pathology and rehabilitation of buildings has shown a significant impulse, due to the growing awareness of the various players in the construction sector, as well as the emergence of new materials, techniques, and solutions.
Recent statistics show that investment in the rehabilitation sector continues to show an increasing trend. CINPAR 2023 represents an important opportunity for the acquisition of new knowledge, and for the exchange of experiences in the fields related to the rehabilitation and strengthening of structures.
CINPAR is one of the most important conferences on building pathology and rehabilitation with international recognition. Since 2003, CINPAR has represented an important opportunity for the acquisition of new knowledge, and for the exchange of experiences in fields related to the rehabilitation and strengthening of structures. The past editions were hosted by Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, Chile, Italy, and Turkey. Now, in 2023, it is time for the charming, dynamic, and cultural Sobral to be the host.
