1st Monash Symposium on Climate-Resilient Infrastructure 2024 (M-CRInfra2024)

Scope
The “construction and infrastructure” industry is crucial in providing employment and socio-economic growth in various developing countries. However, the industry has also been perceived negatively owing to its contributions to climate change, as it is considered to be a natural resources-, energy-, and carbon-intensive industry. Therefore, it is crucial to develop and advance the capacity of research in climate resilience of built infrastructure, with a focus on supporting strategies for low-carbon construction/living and initiatives to enhance the resilience of the built infrastructure in adapting to climate actions. This symposium fosters these strategies via a combination of collaboration, educational, and outreach activities.

In conjunction with the 1st Monash Symposium on Climate-Resilient Infrastructure 2024 (M-CRInfra2024), the Monash Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Research Hub (M-CRInfra) will be hosting the "Sustainable Developments for Future Infrastructure" competition. This competition is open to Graduate Research Students (Master/PhD) globally, including students who are currently enrolled or who have submitted/completed their thesis in 2024.
Participants are requested to submit an abstract and video of their research and nine competitors will be chosen by the judges to present their work in a final round at Monash University Malaysia. The top three participants will be awarded prizes during the symposium.
There are no registration fees for this competition, but travel to Monash University Malaysia for the final round must be arranged and borne by the participants or the participants' institutions. Accommodation will be arranged for the international/Malaysian participants travelling from outside the Selangor or Kuala Lumpur area.
Further information, including the themes, submission requirements, and key dates, are provided in the attached flyers.
