Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest will host the 2026 edition of the EENVIRO Research Conference, one of the leading international scientific events dedicated to advancing sustainable and resilient solutions for energy and environmental challenges. The conference will take place in Bucharest, Romania, from 1 to 4 November 2026, bringing together researchers, academics, industry representatives, policymakers and young scientists from across Europe and beyond.
Organised under the theme โSustainable and Resilient Solutions for Energy and Environmentโ, EENVIRO 2026 aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and strengthen international research collaborations addressing some of the most pressing challenges of our time, including climate change adaptation, energy transition, environmental protection, sustainable urban development and long-term infrastructure resilience in the built environment.
Building on the successful legacy of previous editions, the conference will provide a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange and scientific networking. Participants will have the opportunity to present original research findings, engage in thematic discussions and explore innovative approaches to sustainability through oral presentations, poster sessions, keynote lectures and collaborative networking activities.
The conference welcomes contributions from a broad range of disciplines connected to energy and environmental sustainability. Its multidisciplinary scope reflects the increasing need for integrated solutions capable of addressing complex societal and technological challenges. Researchers are invited to share their work on topics ranging from sustainable urban infrastructure and resilient buildings to environmental sciences, biodiversity, life sciences, biotechnology and the social dimensions of environmental transition.
As a recognised forum for connecting academia, industry and public stakeholders, EENVIRO has consistently expanded its international impact. Previous editions of the conference hosted by UTCB attracted approximately 300 participants, involved researchers from more than 50 universities and research institutions worldwide, and featured 20 international keynote speakers, workshops, scientific sessions, laboratory visits and interdisciplinary networking events.
As a member of the EU-CONEXUS Alliance, UTCB continues to strengthen its commitment to research excellence, innovation, and sustainable development. Hosting EENVIRO 2026 further reinforces the universityโs role as a regional and international hub for scientific cooperation in the fields of energy, environment, and resilient urban systems. The conference also aligns with the EU-CONEXUS mission of promoting interdisciplinary research and generating knowledge that contributes to smarter, more sustainable, and climate-resilient communities.
Researchers interested in participating are invited to submit papers and extended abstracts according to the conference timeline. The submission deadline is 17 July 2026, with final paper acceptance scheduled for 23 October 2026. Registration will remain open until 31 October 2026.
Conference Topics
ADVANCED FUNDAMENTALS OF FLUID MECHANICS, ENERGY AND HEAT TRANSFER PROCESSES
Research in this field aims to deepen the understanding of transport phenomena and optimise energy conversion systems through advanced theoretical and numerical approaches. The primary goal is to develop precise models for fluid dynamics and heat transfer, which are needed to increase the efficiency of industrial processes and energy storage systems. By integrating CFD methods and thermodynamic principles, the work focuses on establishing sustainable technical solutions that address current challenges in energy resource security and thermal loss reduction in complex engineering systems.
INDOOR ENVIRONMENT QUALITY AND CIVIL ENGINEERING SCIENCES
This research direction integrates civil engineering principles with environmental factor management to ensure high standards of health and comfort in human-occupied spaces. The emphasis is on designing resilient structures that incorporate natural ventilation strategies, passive cooling systems and advanced indoor air quality monitoring. The goal is to link the structural integrity of buildings with thermal performance, using numerical modelling to predict airflow and optimise the energy efficiency of the built environment without compromising user well-being.
OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT QUALITY AND MANAGEMENT OF ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION
Research activities focus on analysing and mitigating the impact of human activities on air quality in dense urban areas. The field aims to develop and implement sensor networks for real-time monitoring of pollutants and use mathematical models to study their dispersion based on urban morphology. The major objective is to establish technological strategies for emission reduction and local microclimate management, contributing to sustainable urban planning and the protection of public health against atmospheric pollution.
NATURAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL RISK MANAGEMENT
This field addresses the long-term resilience and lifecycle management of critical infrastructure, the built environment and communities facing various threats, from seismic and hydrological risks to fires and complex technological accidents. Research aims to develop prediction and intervention tools based on advanced monitoring technologies and modelling of extreme phenomena. The main goal is to strengthen emergency response capacity through strategies to reduce structural vulnerability and specific protection measures for the built environment and urban interface zones, ensuring life safety and the functional continuity of cities.
By bringing together experts from diverse scientific backgrounds and geographical regions, EENVIRO 2026 promises to be a catalyst for innovative ideas, impactful partnerships, and transformative research addressing the future of energy and environmental sustainability.
