会议介绍Introduction

Bamboo and timber industry promises to be a green and sustainable industry to ensure low carbon future for the construction sector. With the overarching aim of supporting carbon neutrality strategy, the International Conference on Advancements in Bamboo and Timber Industry will promote new concepts of carbon-positive development and will explore opportunities of replacing plastic with bamboo. Underpinned by the strategic needs of innovation-driven development, ABI aims to enhance the technical exchange in the bamboo and timber industry, strengthen the international exchanges and industry-university research collaborations to transform and advance the bamboo and timber industry to develop high-value products to meet future needs of the construction industry.

With the continuing depletion of mineral resources and the alarming deterioration of the environment due to construction activities, the concept of sustainable development has become one of the major considerations around the world. This has led research from across the globe to pay more attention towards the sustainable development of materials and structures. To complement this research need, The International Conference on Sustainable Structures (ICSUST) was launched by the International Journal of Sustainable Structures (SUST), Nanjing Forestry University, University of Naples Federico II (UNINA), US NSF Center for Integration of Composites into Infrastructure, University College London (UCL), Deakin University, West Virginia University and so on in 2022. The aim of this International Conference is to provide a platform for academic exchange, to promote the research of green, low-carbon and sustainable development of materials and structures, and to serve the construction of a better home for mankind. 

SUST is an English-language international journal focusing on the research and application of sustainable structures. Articles are currently published in SUST without any article processing fee (APC). SUST has been accepted in many renowned databases including Scopus (Citescore 14.2, 2023, Q1), DOAJ, SCImago (SJR: 1.93, 2023, Q1), Crossref and so on. All articles published in SUST can be accessed freely using a DOI. The Youth Editorial Board of SUST was established in 2022 to support early career researchers (ECRs). SUST also launched a Symposium of the Youth Editorial Board to provide a robust platform for mentoring ECRs. The symposium will be organized jointly with the annual International Conference on Sustainable Structures (ICSUST) to support growth of the young talents. SUST hopes that this event will become a high-quality communication platform for experts, scholars, engineers, technicians and entrepreneurs.

International Conference on Advances in Civil Engineering and Materials (ACEM) and World Symposium on Sustainable Bio-composite Materials and Structures (SBMS) resulted from collaboration between many reputed institutions including Nanjing Forestry University (China), Deakin University (Australia), University of Naples Federico II (Italy), International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation (INBAR). The aim of the conference is to provide an interactive platform for experts, scholars, engineers, technicians and entrepreneurs engaged in related research to understand the academic development trends, broaden research ideas, enhance friendship, strengthen exchanges and collaboration, and promote the transformation of scientific research achievements.

      No conference proceedings will be published as part of this event but high-quality papers will be considered for possible publication in Sustainable Structures, Nanotechnology Reviews, Journal of Renewable Materials and Journal of Forestry Engineering. Registered participants will receive the latest published journals for SUST.
