The International Conference on Sustainable Materials and Infrastructure (ICSMI) will be organized by the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jammu, from Dec 16-18, 2025. ICSMI serves as a platform for researchers, industry professionals, and practitioners to drive progress in sustainable construction. This event offers an engaging forum to explore cutting-edge advancements in eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient technologies, and innovative design approaches. Participants can exchange knowledge, present groundbreaking solutions, and build collaborations to accelerate the adoption of sustainable practices in the construction industry.
Aligned with the principles of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the conference addresses critical global challenges, including climate resilience, resource efficiency, sustainable urban development, and access to clean energy. By fostering dialogue and cooperation, this event aims to advance the creation of a sustainable and inclusive built environment that balances environmental, social, and economic priorities.
Participants are invited to showcase their innovative ideas and research findings through oral/poster presentation. ICSMI is now accepting abstracts under the following themes:
- Advanced cementitious material for durability
