On behalf of the Scientific Committee, it is our great pleasure to invite the esteemed members of the international structural engineering community to the IABSE Congress 2024 in San Jose, Costa Rica. The event will take place from 25-27 September 2024, at the Costa Rica Convention Centre in San Jose. The Congress is being organised by the Costa Rican, Chillian, and Mexican Groups of the IABSE.


The IABSE Congress is a premier international gathering that provides a platform for sharing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and discussing advancements in the field of structural engineering. With the theme of "Beyond Structural Engineering in a Changing World," the Congress aims to explore the challenges and opportunities that arises from the evolving global landscape.


The Congress will feature a wide range of themes and topics that are of utmost importance to the structural engineering community. Renowned experts and practitioners from around the world will present their cutting-edge research, innovative solutions, and best practices in these areas. The Congress will provide a fertile ground for meaningful discussions, knowledge exchange, and networking opportunities that can shape the future of our profession.


We believe that your expertise and valuable contributions would greatly enrich the Congress. We kindly request you to consider participating as a speaker, presenting a technical paper, or joining as an attendee. Your presence will undoubtedly enhance the quality of discussions and make the Congress a resounding success.


We look forward to welcoming you to the IABSE Congress 2024 and to the beautiful city of San Jose. Let us come together to explore new horizons, share knowledge, and shape the future of structural engineering in a changing world.


With warm regards,
