IABSE President
The International Association of Bridges and Structural Engineering (IABSE) is pleased to be invited to San José, Costa Rica, for the IABSE Congress in September 2024, the year that marks the Association's 95th anniversary. Since 1929, the IABSE has successfully promoted the exchange of knowledge and advanced the practice of structural engineering around the world, serving the profession and society. Our members address all aspects of structural engineering: all types of structures, all construction materials and all phases in the life of structures, from the early stages of planning and design to operation, maintenance and final dismantling, demolition or reuse. In everything we do, we consider technical, economic, environmental, aesthetic and social aspects.
The theme of the IABSE Congress in San José is "Beyond structural engineering in a changing world",and places several urgent issues high on the agenda, including decarbonization and climate change, deconstruction and the second use of structures. The construction industry is responsible for a significant amount of carbon emissions and we collectively have a great responsibility to develop solutions that have a positive effect on pressing challenges. The challenges are on a global scale and to make a real difference we need international collaboration. With more than 3000 members in 100 countries, the IABSE has an important role to play. During the conference, you will have the opportunity to connect with some of the leading experts in the field and recognized thought leaders. Join the conference to share your knowledge and make your voice heard
I hope you will take some time during your visit to enjoy this special place and take some of the ‘pura vida’ spirit home with you. On behalf of the Association, I would like to thank the Costa Rican Group for organising the Congress in San Jose in 2024. I look forward to reconnecting with our members and to welcoming new participants. A special invitation goes to young engineers born in or after 1990 to sign up and enjoy the Young Engineers’ Programme, as well as the networking opportunities with experienced members of the profession. Please join us!
