International Symposium for Emerging Researchers in Composites for Infrastructure (ISERCI) | July 10-11, 2017                   

The inaugural International Symposium for Emerging Researchers in Composites for Infrastructure (ISERCI) will be hosted by the International Centre for Composites in Infrastructure (ICCI) at the University of Wollongong.

The use of composite materials in infrastructure has increased tremendously over the past two decades, primarily for the strengthening of existing structures but also increasingly for the construction of new structures. The ISERCI series aims to provide an international forum for upcoming researchers/practitioners and rising stars in the area to share their recent advances in both research and practice, and to explore research/industry partnership opportunities. The inaugural ISERCI will include a special industry session for industry practitioners to share their recent advances in practice and to generate mutually beneficial discussions between researchers and practitioners.

International Summer School on Composites in Infrastructure (ISSCI) | July 12-14, 2017

Following the success of the inaugural International Summer School on Composites in Infrastructure (ISSCI) in 2016, the second ISSCI will be held on 12 to 14 July 2017 in Wollongong, Australia. The ISSCI will again be hosted by the International Centre for Composites in Infrastructure at the University of Wollongong.

The ISSCI, to be taught by a strong team of experts, will focus on the structural use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in infrastructure. The ISSCI aims to prepare researchers and postgraduate students for high-quality research in the area, and to prepare engineers for practical applications. It will provide a comprehensive and thorough treatment of the behaviour, modelling and design of structures incorporating FRP composites (including both FRP-strengthened structures and FRP-based new structures), with a strong emphasis on their fundamental mechanics.
