The XVIth National Conference on Steel Structures

The first National Conference on Steel Structures took place in 1973 in Timişoara, at the initiative of Acad. Prof. Dan Mateescu, becoming, through the following series of conferences, a highly valued academic tradition in this domain in Romania.

Bringing together some of the most reputed international experts in the field, the National Conferences on Steel Structures offer an opportunity meeting for academics, researchers, and engineers in the field of steel constructions, fostering transfers from science to innovation, the exchange of innovative ideas, and scientific performances through fruitful debates and discussions. The conferences have played an important role in connecting specialists in steel constructions with the latest European directions of research, design trends and codes for practice, gaining unanimous appreciation and popularity among the Romanian and international scientific community.

Construction industry metal represents a place where science and engineering research come together to generate new concepts of design and execution, in harmony with the principles of sustainable development and with the current concerns of society.

În 2017 gazda Conferinței 15 CONMET a fost Facultatea de Construcții și Instalații de la Universitatea Tehnică “Gheorghe Asachi” Iași, Departamentul Construcții Civile și Industriale. Evenimentul s-a remarcat prin ținută științifică și s-a bucurat de o mare apreciere în rândul invitaților, atât din țară cât și din străinătate.

In 2017 the 15 CONMET National Conference was hosted in Iasi by the Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Building Services with in the "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University Iasi. The event was held by scientific and enjoyed a wide appreciation amongst the guests, both from the country and abroad.

The 16th edition of the National Conference on Steel Structures (CM16-2019) will take place in Timișoara (UPT), during the period 13-14 June 2019, the honor of being the host and organizer returning again to the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Politehnica University of Timişoara, Department of Steel Structures and Structural Mechanics (CMMC), together with the Romanian Academy – Timisoara Branch, Centre for fundamental and advanced technical research (CCTFA) and in collaboration with the Association of metal construction producers from Romania (APCMR)
