ICBMC 2023 | Kyoto, Japan
2023 8th International Conference on Building Materials and Construction (ICBMC 2023) was successfully held in Kyoto, Japan during March 17-20, 2023! Since some people could not travel to Kyoto, ICBMC was also broadcasted simultaneuusly online. The conference consist of 2 keynote speeches, 5 invited speeches, 1 best paper competition, 1 best student paper competition, 1 poster session and 12 oral sessions. Presenters from over 16 countries and areas gathered in Kyoto as well as online platform. Participants had in-depth communication on relevant topics during the 4-day event. Thank you for everyone's support and participation. Special thanks extended to all the speakers, every individual and committee members for their contribution to make the conference a success.
