Conference on Sustainable Innovation in Civil Engineering and the Yannick Tardivel Award
The French Civil Engineering Association (AFGC), CEREMA, the École nationale des ponts et chaussées (through the Navier Laboratory), and Gustave Eiffel University are organizing a conference on the theme of sustainable innovation in civil engineering, which will bring together guest speakers, experts in the field, and papers submitted in response to the call for papers.
This event will serve as an opportunity to pay tribute to Yannick Tardivel, a pioneer in this field, 10 years after his passing. A call for submissions has also been launched to highlight and recognize innovative initiatives (studies, research, construction projects, concepts, software, etc.) in the area of sustainable design and management in civil engineering, focusing on one of the following three themes:
- Eco-design
- Life Cycle and Risk Analysis
- Environmental Performance Measurement
The call for submissions is open until March 1, 2027. Shortlisted projects will be announced on April 5, 2027, and the awards ceremony will take place on June 3, 2027, following the Conference.
