EUROSTEEL 2026 – 11th European Conference on Steel & Composite Structures
Eurosteel 2026, Cracow
The 11th Eurosteel Conference, organized by Cracow University of Technology, Rzeszów University of Technology and ECCS, will take place in the historic city of Cracow, Poland, from 16 to 18 September 2026.
Eurosteel 2026 will gather researchers, engineers, architects, manufacturers, and students who are involved in the design and maintenance of steel and composite structures. This edition of the conference places a strong focus on the reuse of structural components as well as the retrofitting and assessment of existing steel structures. It promotes sustainable engineering practices that contribute to a more circular and resource-efficient construction sector.
The program will include scientific paper presentations, keynote speeches by international experts, and technical sessions covering recent innovations in steel and composite structural systems. Applications will span across buildings, bridges, towers, offshore facilities, and infrastructure supporting renewable energy.
Alongside traditional topics in structural engineering, the conference will highlight new technologies, including digital tools such as artificial intelligence, and address how they can support safer, more efficient, and more environmentally conscious design strategies.
