A showcase of outstanding structural engineering research, bringing together students, academics and practitioners.

The Young researchers conference returns for its 26th year. Six young researchers presented their work to a panel of judges, comprised of both academics and practising engineers from the IStructE Research Panel. 

A Pecha-Kucha style session saw two presentations bridging the gap between industry and research and demonstrating perspectives on future research areas.
The event was sponsored by IABSE.
