As a world-leading interdisciplinary European academic association with thousands of distinguished fellows including multiple Nobel laureates, EASA’s dedicated event page serves as an authoritative global promotion channel for IPC 2026. The academy will provide cross-continental academic outreach, expand European scholar participation, and facilitate long-term research exchanges between European experts and the international smart construction community.

Scheduled for November 19–20, 2026 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, IPC 2026 is SCP’s core annual global forum connecting scholars, engineering practitioners and policymakers. This year’s agenda centers on four core themes: industrial decarbonisation, full-sector digital transformation, industrialised construction, and next-generation intelligent production systems. The conference programme includes keynote lectures, themed technical sessions and industry roundtables to address major challenges in sustainable built-environment development.

As clearly stated on EASA’s event page, a special benefit is available for all academy members: free full conference registration for IPC 2026. Abstract submissions will close on May 31, 2026. The conference organising committee is co-chaired by Prof. Xiangyu Wang, Class VI Member of EASA, and Dr. Wenchi Shou.

Official Statement from SCP Leadership

“SCP is greatly honoured to have IPC 2026 officially featured and promoted on EASA’s institutional event platform,” the SCP president commented. “EASA’s authoritative academic reputation across Europe delivers unmatched global exposure for our conference. The dedicated listing on its official portal recognises the academic value of our research exchange platform, while the free registration policy will attract top European scientists to share frontier insights on low-carbon and digital construction technologies. This partnership builds a stable cross-continental bridge linking European and Asia-Pacific innovation ecosystems.”

With EASA’s official platform promotion and academic support, IPC 2026 will strengthen transnational research collaboration, accelerate industrial application of intelligent and zero-carbon construction technologies, and build a more inclusive global exchange network for built-environment innovation.
