In the last week of March, the Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering is hosting three major national (all-Russian) scientific events.
The conferences will bring together representatives of the scientific community, government agencies, industrial partners, as well as young scientists and researchers, PhD, bachelor's, specialist's, and master's students.
"Prospects of modern construction"
23–26 March. IV National (All-Russian) Scientific and Technical Conference "Prospects of Modern Construction". The event will provide a platform for discussing current scientific research and practical solutions in the field of modern construction, as well as for the exchange of experience between representatives of the scientific community, education, and the construction industry. The organizing committee of the conference is headed by Andrey Nikulin, Dean of the SPbGASU Faculty of Civil Engineering, PhD of Engineering Sciences, Associate Professor.
The key objectives of the conference are to present new ideas, approaches, and methods of scientific research in the field of modern construction, discuss the results of scientific work of young scientists, develop professional communications in the research environment, and exchange best practices in construction production.
The event will feature plenary and sectional sessions devoted to current areas of construction science and practice, including architectural and construction structures, geotechnics, reinforced concrete and masonry structures, metal and timber structures, construction management, structural mechanics, building materials and construction production technologies, and technosphere safety issues.
“Modern technologies in engineering systems and urban services”
23–27 March. III National (all-Russian) scientific and practical conference “Modern technologies in engineering systems and urban services”. The conference will focus on current research and innovative solutions in engineering systems and urban management, as well as the exchange of scientific and practical experience among young researchers. The organizing committee is chaired by Dmitry Ulrikh, Dean of the SPbGASU Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Municipal Services, DSc in Engineering, and Associate Professor.
The main goal of the event is to present and discuss modern scientific research carried out by students and young scientists, as well as to popularize scientific research and innovation activities among students.
The conference will feature breakout sessions on key industry topics, including water use and ecology, geodesy and cadastres, information technology and mathematical modeling, building physics, electric power and electrical engineering, as well as heat and gas supply and ventilation.
"Reconstruction and restoration of architectural heritage"
24–27 March. VI National (all-Russian) scientific and practical conference with international participation "Reconstruction and restoration of architectural heritage". The conference has been held annually since 2016 and brings together specialists to discuss current issues in the preservation of cultural heritage sites and the historical environment.
The event will bring together scientists, architects, restorers, representatives of educational institutions and cultural heritage protection agencies, as well as experts from organizations performing restoration work and producing specialized materials. The organizing committee is headed by Evgeny Korolev, SPbGASU Vice-Rector for Research.
The key topics of the conference will include the preservation and restoration of cultural heritage sites, engineering aspects of adapting architectural monuments for modern use, restoration practices and the use of modern materials, as well as issues of training specialists and developing professional education in the field of restoration. In particular, experts will be presented with a new training profile at SPbGASU, which is being launched in the Faculty of Civil Engineering under the training program 08.03.01. Civil Engineering: "Restoration of Buildings and Structures – Engineering Restoration."
The conference's business program will also include thematic sections, master classes, a roundtable discussion on St Petersburg's industrial heritage, and tours of restoration sites.
Publication of proceedings
Following the events, collections of scientific articles are planned for publishing in the journals peer-reviewd by the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI).
The best works will be selected by the scientific committee for consideration of their publication in scientific journals of SPbGASU recommended by the Higher Attestation Commission.
