Welcome from the Chairs
Dear colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to join the 1st International Online Conference on CivilEng (IOCCI 2026). The conference is organized by the MDPI open access journal CivilEng (ISSN 2673-4109, Impact Factor: 2.0) and will be held online from 12 to 13 November 2026.
The agenda of the conference includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:S1: Mathematical Models for Civil Engineering;
S2: Urban, Economy, Management and Transportation Engineering;
S3: Structural and Earthquake Engineering;
S4: Water Resources and Coastal Engineering;
S5: Construction and Material Engineering.
IOCCI 2026 will enable you to share and discuss your most recent research findings, with the active engagement of the audience in question-and-answer sessions that will take place online without any registration fee.
The conference committee will review the submitted abstracts. Following the conference, outstanding contributions will be invited to be submitted as a full-length paper for publication in CivilEng with a 20% discount on the publication fee.
We hope you will join us, present your work at IOCCI 2026, and be part of this exciting online event.
Best regards,
Conference Chairs
Prof. Dr. Angelo Luongo, Past Professor, DICEAA, University of L’Aquila, Italy;
Prof. Dr. Noël Challamel, University of South Brittany (UBS), France.

He is author of several educational books on Solid Mechanics and Structural Mechanics, as well as scientific books on Post-buckling, Dynamic Bifurcations, Nonlinear Modelling of Beams and Cables. He authored more than two hundred papers in peer-reviewed journals. He is Editor-in-Chief of CivilEng (MPDI), Associate Ed. of Nonlinear Dynamics (Springer) and Editorial Board Member of several other journals. He was head of department for five three-yearly terms, vicar pro-rector for two years, and held several managerial roles in academia, as founder of new degree courses, PhD schools and Research Centers as well as Laboratory Director.
Department of Civil Engineering, University of South Brittany (UBS), Lorient, France
Noël Challamel is Professor at University of South Brittany (Université de Bretagne Sud – Lorient, France). He is the head of a research team in Civil Engineering and Multiscale Mechanics. His research at University of South Brittany mainly concerns civil engineering, theoretical and applied mechanics problems, with a particular emphasis on scale effects, structural mechanics, stability, vibrations and material modeling (Continuum Damage Mechanics and Plasticity). He is the co-author of several books in the field of mechanics and civil engineering. He has published over two hundred papers in high standard journals. He is often consulted as a referee in more than 50 international journals in Civil Engineering, Physics or Mechanics. He is member of the editorial board of a dozen of international journals, and is associate editor of the Journal of Engineering Mechanics (one of the leading journals published by the American Society of Civil Engineering), and Mechanics Research Communications. He is also editor and head of the collection « Solid Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering » published by ISTE Wiley. He is also chairman of the EMI Stability Committee (ASCE).
Session Chairs

Registration
The registration for IOCCI 2026 will be free of charge! The registration includes attendance to all conference sessions.
If you are registering several people under the same registration, please do not use the same email address for each person, but their individual university email addresses. Thank you for your understanding.
Instructions for Authors
Deadline for abstract submission: 13 July 2026
Deadline for abstract acceptance notification: 14 August 2026
You will be notified of the acceptance of an oral/poster presentation in a separate email.
Abstract Submission
Abstract submissions should be completed online by registering with www.sciforum.net and using the "Submit Abstract" function once logged into the system. No physical submission is necessary.
1. The abstract should include an introduction, methods, results, and conclusion sections, and be within 200-300 words in length.
4. The abstracts submitted to this conference must be original and novel, without prior publication in any journals or it will not be accepted to this conference.
2. Please select only one presenter for each submission. If you would like to change the presenter after submission, please email us accordingly.
Note: We only accept live presentations.
The slot for the oral presentation is 15 minutes. We recommend a 12-minute presentation, leaving about 3 minutes for a Q&A session.
Authors are encouraged to prepare a presentation in PowerPoint or similar software, to be displayed online along with the abstract. Slides, if available, will be displayed directly on the website using the proprietary slide viewer at Sciforum.net. Slides can be prepared in exactly the same way as for any traditional conference where research results are presented. Slides should be converted to PDF format prior to submission so that they can be converted for online display.
Poster Presentation

MDPI, the publisher of the Sciforum.net platform, is an open access publisher. We believe authors should retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Hence, by submitting an abstract to this conference, you retain the copyright to the work, but you grant MDPI the non-exclusive right to publish this abstract online on the Sciforum.net platform. This means you can easily submit your full paper (with the abstract) to any scientific journal at a later stage and transfer the copyright to its publisher if required.
Publication Opportunities
1. CivilEng Publication
Participants in this conference are cordially invited to contribute a full manuscript to the conference's Topic (to be updated), published in CivilEng (ISSN 2673-4109, Impact Factor: 2.0), with a 20% discount on the publication fee.
