IABSE Congress Ghent: Exploring the Role of Structural Engineering in Building a Better Society

As the world navigates the complexities of urbanization, climate change, and evolving infrastructure needs, the IABSE Congress in Ghent, Belgium takes center stage with a timely and impactful theme: “The Essence of Structural Engineering for Society.” This prestigious global event, hosted by the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE), brings together professionals, academics, and innovators to explore how structural engineering can—and must—rise to meet the pressing demands of our time.

Held in the historic city of Ghent, the Congress promises a stimulating environment where engineering excellence meets social responsibility. More than just a technical conference, it is a platform for collaboration, inspiration, and progress, emphasizing the human and environmental impacts of structural decisions.

The Purpose Behind the Theme: Engineering for a Greater Good

The chosen theme, “The Essence of Structural Engineering for Society,” captures the evolving expectations placed on structural engineers in the 21st century. No longer confined to calculations and blueprints alone, today’s engineers are active agents of sustainable development, safety, and innovation.

The Congress will address key questions such as:

   How can structural engineering solutions improve quality of life?

   What responsibilities do engineers hold in mitigating climate risks?

   How can global collaboration lead to more resilient infrastructure?

   What ethical considerations should guide the structural engineering profession?

These discussions are more relevant than ever, as the built environment intersects with social equity, environmental stewardship, and economic development across the globe.
