Join us on 14 November 2025 at Lake Side, Zurich, for an unforgettable celebration of excellence in structural engineering. The prestigious IABSE Awards & Gala Dinner will honour this year's People and Paper Awards recipients, while the winners from the Project and Technology Awards finalists will be revealed live during the event.
Take this opportunity to be part of an exclusive evening filled with award-winning designers, visionary engineers, and project owners. Space is limited, so don't miss your opportunity to attend this prestigious gathering. Secure your seat today by registering.
Hurry! The deadline for Full Paper submission is today, 15 October 2025.
The theme of the Symposium, “Bridging Advanced Technologies – Structural Innovation,” serves as a call for all engineers, young & curious as well as ambitious & experienced to come together. We encourage all of you to share papers on R&D projects, your lessons learned and real case studies. And as we often learn most from the difficult times, where things did not go as planned, we ask you to be brave and also share the hard learned lessons. The Symposium will provide a unique opportunity to share knowledge, learn from the experience of others and together set a new agenda for the future.
Site Visit:
Executive Director Chep Uytiepo visited Copenhagen for a site visit and met the organisers who are preparing for the upcoming IABSE Symposium Copenhagen 2026 from 21-24 April 2026.
