The eight International Conference on Geotechnics, Civil Engineering and Structures (CIGOS) opened in Ho Chi Minh City on April 16, under the theme "Innovation in Planning, Design and Civil Infrastructure for Resilient and Sustainable Transformation".
The three-day event, attracting over 200 domestic and foreign experts and scientists, aims to address global challenges in creating resilient and sustainable infrastructure through innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
It covers a range of topics, including, but not limited to Artificial Intelligence, data analytics, digital transformation, construction, materials, structures, digital technologies, geosciences, environment, energy, planning, architecture, industrial design, transportation, infrastructure, management and investment.
The key objectives of CIGOS 2026 are to provide a platform for sharing knowledge, experiences, and recent advancements in civil engineering and related fields; foster economic partnerships and technological transfers among enterprises and institutions, and strengthen international cooperation in research, education, and sustainable development.
In addition, the event focuses on connecting research with practice in Vietnam, in the context of rapid urbanization and the impacts of climate change in Southeast Asia.
Since its beginning in 2010 in Paris, the CIGOS has solidified its reputation as a prominent global forum for fostering high-quality academic and professional exchanges in geotechnical, structural, and construction engineering. With seven successful editions, CIGOS continues to attract a diverse community of academics, researchers, designers, policymakers, and entrepreneurs to share cutting-edge advancements and innovative ideas.
