The 2nd International Conference on Construction Resources for Environmentally Sustainable Technologies (CREST 2023) will be held during November 20-22, 2023, in Fukuoka, Japan, in a face-to-face format. The conference is organized by Kyushu University, together with University of Cambridge, Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE), Japanese Geotechnical Society (JGS), ISSMGE Technical Committee (TC 307), ISSMGE Asian Regional Technical Committees (AsRTC1 and AsRTC3), and Global Society for Smart Geo-Sustainnovation (GLOSS). The conference aims to bring together engineers, researchers, scientists and policy makers from around the world under one umbrella for debates and discussions on wide range of interdisciplinary themes mentioned below. The conference focuses on commitment to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) No. 9, No. 11, No. 13 and No. 17 by promoting new ideas and innovations in infrastructure design, construction and maintenance, as well as policy making and implementation with the aim of contributing to climate change adaptation and disaster resilience.

The theme of the conference is 'Information and Communication Technology and Sustainability in Deep Mixing'. The deep mixing method was developed 50 years ago, and thereafter, advancements have been made. The deep mixing method used currently has been possible owing to the continuous research and development, allowing us to design and execute reliable ground improvements using this method. Meanwhile, the information and communication technology wave has also reached the Deep Mixing world, affecting everything from soil investigation and design to execution. Additionally, sustainability presents critical challenges. We could reduce CO2 emissions by using less cement, contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals. However, the traditional themes of QC/QA, technology development, and applied research are also important. Our conference programme aims to emphasise on these issues and is designed to motivate collaboration, innovation, and discovery with researchers and practitioners worldwide.
