The 7th International Conference on Protective Structures (ICPS7) will be held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, from May 12th to 15th 2025. Abu Dhabi, stands as a global hub for innovation and education with cutting-edge research facilities, prestigious academic institutions, and a vibrant cityscape, offers a perfect setting for the ICPS7 conference. Embark on a groundbreaking experience as we host the first ICPS in this dynamic region, offering a unique chance to engage and exchange insights with peers and researchers from around the globe at the leading international conference dedicated to protective structures. Having originated in 2010 in the city of Manchester, England (1st ICPS), this global event has since traversed the globe, making impactful stops in Potsdam, Germany in 2013 (2nd ICPS/ISIEMS), Newcastle, Australia in 2015 (3rd ICPS), Beijing, China in 2016 (4th ICPS), Poznan, Poland in 2018 (5th ICPS) and Auburn, USA in 2023 (6th ICPS). It is one component of a three colleague-development and dissemination mechanism:
ICPS7 will attract the leading researchers and practitioners, to report and exchange ideas on the latest developments of a wide range of basic and applied research for the protection of civil infrastructure, ranging from buildings and bridges to pipelines and dams, the forces of nature and human-made challenges such as explosions, impacts, and other extreme loads. Plenary and keynote lectures from pre-eminent leaders in the field are planned, along with oral presentations from an expected large delegation coming together in Abu Dhabi from all corners of the world. Beyond the conference sessions, attendees will have the chance to delve into the UAE's cultural heritage, admire its modern architecture, and savor its diverse culinary offerings. This blend of intellectual engagement and cultural discovery ensures a truly memorable and enriching experience.
