Welcome

78th RILEM Annual Week & RILEM Conference on Sustainable Materials & Structures: Meeting the major challenges of the 21st century - SMS 2024

The 78th RILEM Week will be held in conjunction with the RILEM Conference on Sustainable Materials & Structures (SMS 2024): Meeting the major challenges of the 21st century in Toulouse, France, from 25 to 30 August 2024.

This event will feature several key events for the worldwide community of building materials and structures.

Let's meet there!

Welcome by RILEM President - Prof. Dr. Nicolas Roussel

"It is a pleasure to have the RILEM week back in France 11 years after the one organized in Paris in 2013. During these 10 years, we have all felt a continuously growing need for accelerated action to adapt to climate change.

I fully trust that our friends and colleagues in Toulouse will prepare for us an exciting program that will showcase the latest ideas and achievements in order to close the gap between existing society adaptation and what is needed for climate neutrality."

Welcome by Conference Chair - Prof. Alexandra Bertron

"Gathering the scientific community of civil engineering materials and structures in Toulouse at LMDC and INSA in 2024 on the occasion of the 78th RILEM week is an immense pleasure and privilege.

We want to provide a space for rich and direct scientific discussions to meet the crucial challenges of the coming decades, a construction sector that is developing solutions to minimise its environmental impact while optimizing its performance and promoting comfort and quality of use.

The conference will bring together worldwide researchers in the RILEM spirit of conviviality, sharing knowledge, and honouring our young community. Welcome to Toulouse!"

Welcome by LMDC Head - Prof. Jean-Paul Balayssac

"What an honour it is for the LMDC to be hosting the 78th RILEM Week in Toulouse!
As an active member of RILEM for many years, the LMDC is very proud to be organising this major event.

The construction field is going to face some extraordinary challenges in the decades ahead. Everything will be done to ensure that this week in Toulouse is a magnificent catalyst for initiating great collaborations.
We look forward to welcoming you!
See you soon! »
