10th Asia-Pacific Young Researchers and Graduates Symposium

Resilient and Smart Civil Infrastructure

6-8 December 2023, Perth, Australia

Organized by
Centre for Infrastructural Monitoring and Protection (CIMP)
Curtin University
Perth, Australia

Background and Objectives

The Asia-Pacific Young Researchers and Graduates Symposium (YRGS) is primarily a platform for early-stage structural engineering professors, research scientists, professional engineers, postdoctoral fellows and postgraduate students to present their latest findings within the context of the wider structural engineering discipline. The symposium features oral presentations predominantly from early-career structural engineering people but also includes talks from leading figures in the field. It provides an opportunity for learning about future career paths and networking with fellow researchers. One of the valuable merits of attending YRGS is the opportunity to network with a wide range of structural engineering researchers from the Asia-Pacific regions to develop collaboration and friendship.
