The ASES Congress is a traditional gathering place for structural engineers, where the results achieved over the previous two years are reviewed, important events and projects are announced, and an overview of current achievements in science, research, and structural engineering practice is presented. Given the regional importance and recognition of the Congress, a significant number of international participants is expected in addition to the many attendees from Serbia. The Congress will showcase the most notable structural engineering accomplishments in the fields of design, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of civil engineering structures. The substantial increase in construction-sector activity will ensure that a special part of the Congress is dedicated to presenting domestic and global experiences, skills, and insights related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution—advances in additive manufacturing of concrete and steel, the application of artificial intelligence, machine learning, digitalization, and BIM technologies in design, construction, monitoring, and structural rehabilitation. The program will also include presentations of the latest scientific results — covering theoretical, experimental, and numerical research of interest to the civil engineering profession.
The Conference Proceedings will present the scientific and professional achievements of the Congress participants. Since ASES especially emphasises promotion of young researchers, a dedicated session is planned for brief presentations of doctoral research ideas.
The second set of information, to be published soon, will contain more detailed announcements regarding the Congress, including: invited speakers, registration fees, hotel accommodation rates, transportation options, Congress program, program for accompanying persons, as well as other relevant information.
Best regards,
Organizing Committee
To be announced soon.
Call for nominations for the ASES Lifetime Achievement Award in the Field of Structural Engineering
The Lifetime Achievement Award is the highest honor bestowed by ASES for exceptionally significant accomplishments and outstanding results in the field of structural engineering. The award is presented to individuals who have worked for at least 30 years in the field of structural engineering. These are widely recognized, well-known, and fully established leading professionals, both nationally and internationally, in the field of structural engineering. Nominations may be submitted by the ASES Presidency, companies, institutions, organizations, and associations within the construction sector.
Nominations for the Lifetime Achievement Award, including all relevant materials, must be submitted no later than March 20, 2026, to:
ASES Presidency
Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra 73, 11000 Belgrade
Faculty of Civil Engineering, Institute for Materials and Structures (Room 7a)
Materials can be sent by mail: dgks@grf.bg.ac.rs or delivered directly to the above address.
Required documents
Within 60 days after the application deadline, the ASES Presidency will make decisions regarding the Lifetime Achievement Award. The creative portfolios of engineers receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award will be published in the Conference Proceedings and showcased at the Congress itself.
Call for entries for ASES Awards for the Best Scientific and Professional Achievements in Structural Engineering for 2024 and 2025
In order to develop, enhance, and promote structural engineering in Serbia, the ASES Presidency awards individuals and/or author teams for the best achievements in structural engineering: one in the scientific-research field (scientific work) published during 2024 and 2025, and another in the application field—design and/or construction of structural projects (professional work), for which only structures completed during 2024 and 2025 are eligible.
Nominations for the Best Scientific and Professional Achievements in Structural Engineering for 2024 and 2025, including all relevant materials, must be submitted no later than March 20, 2026, to:
ASES Presidency
Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra 73, 11000 Belgrade
Faculty of Civil Engineering, Institute for Materials and Structures (Room 7a)
Materials can be sent by mail: dgks@grf.bg.ac.rs or delivered directly to the above address.
Required documents
Companies (institutions, enterprises, professional associations, etc.) and/or individuals proposing structural engineering achievements for these awards must, together with the application, provide the ASES Presidency with all necessary information (title, brief summary, and review of the scientific work, or technical specifications of the built structure - including construction details, sections, elevations, photographs, and all other relevant data) for the achievement they are proposing.
The submission must include a detailed justification explaining why, in the proposer’s opinion, the work represents one of the best achievements in structural engineering for the category applied. For professional works, the application should specify the design and construction company or institution responsible for realizing the proposed project. For scientific works, one copy of the work for which the award is being proposed must be submitted.
The applicant is also required to propose the names of the candidates for the award for the best professional achievement, along with the justification.
Within 60 days after the application deadline, the ASES Presidency will make decision regarding the Awards for the Best Scientific and Professional Achievements in Structural Engineering for 2024 and 2025. Authors awarded for the best structural engineering achievements will have the opportunity to present their work to Congress participants and to publish it in the Conference Proceedings.
