8th International Conference on Geotechnics, Civil Engineering and Structures (CIGOS)

Since its beginning in 2010 in Paris, the International Conference on Geotechnics, Civil Engineering and Structures (CIGOS) has solidified its reputation as a prominent global forum for fostering high-quality academic and professional exchanges in geotechnical, structural, and construction engineering. With seven successful editions, CIGOS continues to attract a diverse community of academics, researchers, designers, policymakers, and entrepreneurs to share cutting-edge advancements and innovative ideas.

The 8^th edition, CIGOS 2026, will be co-organized by the Association of Vietnamese Scientists and Experts (AVSE Global), the University of Architecture Ho Chi Minh City (UAH) and the University of Sydney Vietnam Institute (SVI), under the auspices of ISSMGE TC-309. The conference is scheduled to take place in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on April 16 & 17, 2026, under the theme "Innovation in Planning, Design and Civil Infrastructure for Resilient and Sustainable Transformation".

The conference will cover a range of topics, including, but not limited to:

• Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, Digital Transformation
• Construction, Materials, Structures, Digital Technologies
• Geosciences, Environment, Energy
• Planning, Architecture, Industrial Design
• Transportation, Infrastructure, Management and Investment

CIGOS 2026 aims to address global challenges in creating resilient and sustainable infrastructure through innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration. The conference welcomes submissions from worldwide researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders. The key objectives of CIGOS 2026 are to:

• Provide a platform for sharing knowledge, experiences, and recent advancements in civil engineering and related fields.
• Foster economic partnerships and technological transfers among enterprises and institutions.
• Strengthen international cooperation in research, education, and sustainable development.

All submitted papers will undergo rigorous peer review by at least two experts from the international scientific committee. Consistent with previous editions (2017, 2019, 2021, and 2024), the CIGOS 2026 proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering series by Springer, indexed in Scopus.
