Third international conference on Health Monitoring and Retrofitting of Existing Structures
HAROS 2026 – International Conference on Structural Health Monitoring and Sustainable Rehabilitation, hosted by CY Cergy-Paris University and supported by the Young Members Group of the fib (International Federation for Structural Concrete), marks the third edition of a growing international event, following successful conferences at CY Cergy Paris Université in 2023 and Université de Lorraine in 2024. HAROS 2026 continues its mission to advance research and innovation in structural health monitoring (SHM), with a focus on intelligent techniques and technologies including artificial intelligence, smart sensors, and data-driven diagnostics. The conference will also address the impact of extreme climatic conditions on the performance and durability of built infrastructure and heritage, and promote sustainable rehabilitation through eco-friendly materials, lifecycle analysis, and resilient design strategies. It will bring together researchers, engineers, and professionals to exchange insights, case studies, and solutions to current and emerging challenges in the field. The conference will be held in hybrid mode and is free of charge for authors and students, ensuring broad accessibility and participation.
Authors have two options for disseminating their work:
2. Submit an abstract via the HAROS 2026 platform, to be reviewed and, if accepted, published in Steps for Civil, Constructions and Environmental Engineering (SCCEE), a journal preparing to apply for Scopus indexing in December 2025, offering a promising platform for visibility and recognition.
- Abstract submission period: 1 December 2025 – 31 March 2026
- Full paper submission (after abstract acceptance): 15 April 2026 – 15 June 2026
Registration is mandatory and will be open from 4 May 2026 to 1 September 2026.

Special session
Design Requirements and Performance of Footbridges for Safety, Durability, and Reliability
IABSE Task Group 1.15 invites participants to a special session dedicated to the design and performance of footbridges throughout their lifecycle. The session will provide a platform for sharing knowledge and discussing innovative approaches to ensure safety, durability, and reliability in modern footbridge design and assessment.
Key themes include safety standards and regulations, durability enhancement through advanced inspection and monitoring methods, and reliability assessment under varying environmental and pedestrian loading conditions. The discussion will highlight sustainable design solutions, innovative materials, and strategies to improve long-term structural performance.
Join us to exchange insights, foster collaboration, and contribute to the development of safer and more resilient footbridge structures.
