About Conference

A Thematic Conference – Integrity of Mechanical Structures and Materials – (formerly the Thematic Symposium in 2022 and 2024) is held for the fourth time, having been first introduced in 2020. Given the high enthusiasm for participation and contribution to the structure and materials fields at the previous event, the symposium format in 2026 will be changed to a biannual conference in cooperation with Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) and DIMONITOR© as the Host. Advanced development in structure-related fields is also significantly contributing to the compliance of technology in energy-related infrastructure and design. International collaborations between countries, such as those between the global north and the global south, are expected to yield significant progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

1st – 2nd June 2026

Conference Format

Oral – Virtual Presentation

The conference’s core scope delves deeply into the multifaceted challenges and opportunities presented by each scope:

  1. Earth and Environmental Engineering;
  2. Green Technology and Materials;
  3. Life Sciences and Safety Management.

The central theme of structure-energy collaboration towards sustainable societies, reflecting achieved SGDs, is raised as the main agenda in TC-IMSM 2026. In practice, SDG implementation relies on measurable indicators, evidence-based policy, and cross-sector collaboration to align technological innovation, infrastructure planning, and resource management with long-term sustainability targets. Within engineering and scientific research, the SDGs function as a strategic lens to prioritize low-carbon technologies, circular material use, disaster-risk reduction, and equitable access to essential services, while also supporting transparent monitoring and accountability through standardized reporting and life-cycle thinking.
