CALL FOR ABSTRACTSAbstract submission is now open!Authors are kindly invited to submit maximum 300 word abstracts through the online submission system.
Title of your abstract: Not more than 25 words. Authors are requested to specify under which of the 6 mentioned themes their contribution belongs. Authors are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts on R&D projects, as well as on lessons learned and real case studies from practice. Papers comprising the above and which address how their contributions help to fulfilling relevant UN sustainability goals, e.g. in the form of quantifiable emission and/or material reduction, or in the form of prolongation of structural service life will be prioritized.

| YOUNG ENGINEERS PROGRAMMEAll participants born in or after 1992 will benefit from a reduction in their registration fee. Young engineers, who personally present their papers at the conference, will be considered for a best young engineers paper award. The award is sponsored by the IABSE Organising Committee. The award consists of a cash prize and a certificate that will be presented during the closing ceremony. |
technical tours
A number of Technical Visits will be provided . The Visits will be to various larger Projects such as : The Femern Belt Tunnel, The new Storestroems Bridge, the Nordhavns Tunnel in Copenhagen, the many Bridges in Copenhagen.
The Technical Visits will be accessible to accompanying persons as well.
| New Storstrøms Bridge, and demolished of the old Bridge Between Copenhagen and the new Femern-connection between Denmark and Germany the railway crosses Storstrømmen. Due to aging and fatigue problems on the existing bridge over Storstrømmen it was decided to build a new bridge with two highspeed railtracks, a two lane local road and a combined pedestrian/cycle path. The total length of the bridge is about 4000 meters. The existing bridge has to be demolished, and we will have an overview of how that will be done. Nordhavns Tunnel The Tunnel will be 1,4 km long, and it is a continuation of an exsisting tunnel of 900 m in length. TThe new Tunnel is prepared for further extension to an eastly Ringroad as Tunnel to Copenhagen Airport. The Construction take part in the middle of Copenhagen, and is going under the biggest Lightboat-harbour in Denmark. The total cost of the Project is about 4 bio. Dkr, and the Tunnel is expected opened for traffic in the middle of 2027. The Forest Tower (Skovtårnet) The 45 meter high Forest Tower in Gisselfeld Kloster’s forest is a unique natural experience in Zealand, where you see the forest in completely new perspectives. Over the Skovtårnet’s architecture, the South Zealand nature and the magnificent view from the top of the Skovtårnet high above the crowns of the trees. Because here – in the middle of Gisselfeld’s forests – you get a sensual experience, fromthe first time you see the 45 meter high forest tower, untilyou stand at the top of the lookout tower and look out overthe South Zealand landscape. Copenhagens bicycle infrastructure – guided bike or walking tour The tour will take the participants through a sample of Copenhagen’s bicycle infrastructure, including iconic solutions like the Bicycle Snake and the busiest bike path in the World on Queen Louise’s Bridge. We will also look at solutions for pedestrians, universal design and urban design. We will make stops at some of the interesting locations and discuss pros and cons of the solutions we see. |
