The primary goal of ICBMC 2023 is to promote research and developmental activities in Building Materials and Construction. Another goal is to promote scientific information interchange between researchers, developers, engineers, students, and practitioners working in Singapore and abroad. The conference will be held every year to make it an ideal platform for people to share views and experiences in Building Materials and Construction and related areas.

TECHNART conference dawned in 2007 in Lisbon. Sixteen years later, we have the pleasure to invite you again for TECHNART 2023, that will be held, from 7 to 12 May. The aim of this congress is to provide a scientific forum to present and promote the use of analytical techniques in the field of art and cultural heritage on a worldwide scale to stimulate contacts and exchange experiences, making a bridge between science and art. The conference builds on the momentum of the previous TECHNART editions of Lisbon, Athens, Berlin, Amsterdam, Catania, Bilbao and Bruges, offering an outstanding and unique opportunity for exchanging knowledge on leading edge developments. Cultural heritage studies are interpreted in a broad sense, including pigments, stones, metals, glass, ceramics, chemometrics on artwork studies, resins, fibers, forensic applications in art, history, archaeology and conservation science.

On 22 and 23 May 2023 we are organizing the conference SMARTINCS’23 on Self-Healing, Multifunctional and Advanced Repair Technologies in Cementitious Systems. SMARTINCS trains a new generation of entrepreneurial early-stage researchers (ESRs) in prevention of deterioration of (1) new concrete infrastructure by innovative, multifunctional self-healing strategies; and (2) existing concrete infrastructure by advanced repair technologies. 15 ESRs are being trained by the consortium to implement new life-cycle thinking and durability-based approaches to the design of concrete structures, minimizing the use of resources and production of waste, in line with Europe’s Circular Economy strategy.

SMARTINCS’23 will not only be a forum for the dissemination of SMARTINCS results, but also an opportunity for all worldwide research groups in this field to come together and present their ongoing research.

The International Congress on the Chemistry of Cement (ICCC) is the renowned global platform which summarizes the state of art of cement chemistry as well as major trends in cement application. Since the first International Congress on the Chemistry of Cement International Congress on the Chemistry of Cement started in London in 1918, it has provided a strong and fruitful link between the academic world and the cement industry. It has always stimulated scientific exchanges and discussions between students and those who have already gained working experience in all of the many field of chemistry relevant to cement production and its use in concrete and mortar.
