Introduction
The IABSE Conference ‘Engineering the Developing World‘ will be held in Kuala Lumpur from April 2018, 25-27. The Conference is being hosted by the Malaysian Group of IABSE. The Organising Committee is being chaired by Paul Mullins and the Scientific Committee is being chaired by David Collings.
Malaysia is a multi-cultural country which offers the very best of Asia. Its capital, Kuala Lumpur, located on the Western Peninsula, is a key regional transportation hub and trading port. It is easily accessible and well serviced by both international and regional flights.
This Conference aims to bring together professional engineers, researchers and public agencies locally from Southeast Asia as well as from around the world to exchange ideas on engineering issues inherent in developing nations achieving developed status.
The Scientific Programme will include plenary and parallel sessions during three days. Keynote and invited speakers will address the conference generally in the plenary sessions, and thematic parallel sessions will be held for the presentation of papers selected by the Scientific Committee from those submitted. The conference will be conducted in English, without simultaneous translation.
Call for paper
Conference Theme: Engineering the Developing World
Large Scale Infrastructure Projects Regional and international bridge, tunneling and structural projects are becoming ever more ambitious, especially in the developing world, where they become showcases for nascent economies.
Engineering Innovations for Rapid Urbanisation As the world becomes increasingly urbanised technical innovation is paramount where urban constraints continually challenge designers.
Towards Achieving a Low Carbon Footprint The importance of achieving a low carbon footprint is already recognised in developed economies, however, are the same considerations being given in the developing world?
Harmonising New and Old The integration of new with old is a challenge which requires sensitive consideration, especially in developing nations where often the gulf between the two can almost seem eternal.
The Future of Aesthetic Design Is there a future for aesthetics in design where cost increasingly becomes the only driving factor? This is an important question in rapidly developing economies, where it is oft left behind.
