Welcome to the 7th CEAC2027 The 7th International Civil Engineering and Architecture Conference (CEAC 2027)2027 The 7th International Civil Engineering and Architecture Conference (CEAC 2027) will take place on March 10-13, 2027 in Hanoi, Vietnam.Architecture is closely related to Civil Engineering. Engineering is a creative discipline and there are natural synergies with architecture and many civil engineers work closely with architects during their careers.CEAC is for broad logical discourse, both intra-and interdisciplinary, among Universities, Colleges, Academicians and Department personnel through an assortment of Distinguished addresses, Plenary sessions, Workshops, Symposiums, Oral and Poster introductions, Virtual/Video presentations and Webinars.

SDGs Symposium 2026 - AI and Sustainability: Opportunities and Challenges for a Sustainable FutureWe are pleased to announce that the SDGs Symposium 2026 - Al and Sustainability: Opportunities and Challenges for a Sustainable Future will be held on 17th February 2026. The event will take place in a hybrid format, both onsite at the University of Tokyo and online. We look forward to your participation.https://www.springernature.com/gp/researchers/campaigns/sdg-symposium-2026?lid=w1nflj8nra5y&utm_source=braze&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ACPG_NONE1_AWA1_W7_CEEV_06I8H_UTokyoSDGs25%20(SN_EN)_Variant%202&cep-id=68b66e22120a3c04ea90573aDate: Tuesday 17 February 2026Time: 14:00-17:10 JST (Symposium) 17:20-19:00 JST (Student poster session, Networking event)Venue: Ito International Hall, The University of Tokyo and Online (Zoom Webinar)Language: English (simultaneous Japanese translation)The event registration is free of charge.If you would like to request accommodations due to a disability, etc., please contact us here.Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how we create, analyze, and act on information, driving innovation across industries and academia. It holds promise for creating sustainable solutions for optimizing resource use, improving inclusivity , and planning smart cities . Yet, AI also raises concerns . Its environmental footprint, including high energy and water consumption , remains poorly understood. Its societal risks such as widening inequalities , job losses, and biased decision-making demand urgent attention. This event aims to examine how AI can support the transition to a sustainable future and the achievement of the SDGs , while minimizing negative impacts. Discussions will focus on how to leverage AI’s potential to tackle sustainability challenges and create sustainable solutions, but also how to ensure transparency, inclusivity, and equity.Join leading researchers and students to engage in dynamic dialogue on AI’s role in shaping a sustainable and equitable society.
