The Ibero-American Congress on Technological Innovation and Sustainability in Construction, TISCon2027, aims to contribute to the development of knowledge in the areas of technological innovation and sustainability within the construction value chain and built environments. To this end, original and innovative contributions will be presented on various topics with an impact on this research area, seeking to leverage and contribute—from materials to buildings, infrastructure, urban areas, and cities—to overcoming various challenges in the immediate future.
This is the first edition of a series of Ibero-American congresses being launched, given the current importance of this theme, which is seeing new interests and challenges in academia, industry, and the market. Growing challenges require increasingly broader developments and applications, making it essential to consider the possibility of enhancing innovation and its internalization in practice; therefore, the congress promotes its dissemination and feasibility.
This 1st edition of TISCon is organized by the University of the Algarve (UAlg), Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM), and the University of Seville (US). It is an in-person event that will take place on September 23 and 24, 2027, in the historic coastal city of Faro, Algarve, Portugal, at the Superior Institute of Engineering of the University of the Algarve.
The congress interconnects education, research, and the public and private markets, and is intended for teachers, researchers, students, designers, planners, entities, and technicians from the public and private sectors at national, regional, and municipal levels.
The official languages of TISCon2027 will be Portuguese, Spanish, and English.
Themes
The main themes of the Conference cover innovative materials, products, buildings, urban areas, cities, strategies, plans, projects, models, and services.
