4th International Symposium for Emerging Researchers in Composites for Infrastructure (ISERCI 2023)

17-18 August 2023
Western Sydney University, Sydney, Australia

Introduction

The 4th International Symposium for Emerging Researchers in Composites for Infrastructure (ISERCI 2023) will be hosted jointly by School of Engineering, Design and Built Environment, Centre for Infrastructure Engineering, and Urban Transformations Research Centre at Western Sydney University. The inaugural, 2nd, and 3rd ISERCIs were held at the University of Wollongong (2017), Tsinghua University (2018), and Huazhong University of Science and Technology (2019), respectively. Due to the epidemic situation of COVID-19, this symposium was suspended and will be re-launched in 2023.

The use of composite materials in infrastructure has increased tremendously over the past two decades, primarily for the strengthening of existing structures but also increasingly for the construction of new structures. The ISERCI series aims to provide an international forum for upcoming researchers/practitioners and rising stars in the area to share their recent advances in both research and practice, and to explore research/industry partnership opportunities.

This ISERCI symposium will be held after the International Summer School on Composites in Infrastructure (ISSCI 2023), which will be hosted at Western Sydney University. The ISSCI, to be taught by a strong team of experts, aims to prepare researchers and postgraduate students for high-quality research in the area, and to prepare engineers for practical applications.
