The 5-day congress will take place from Monday July 9 until Friday July 13, 2018 in the Palace of the Academies in the centre of Brussels. On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, numerous paper and 4 keynote presentations are scheduled. The keynotes will be given by construction historians Thomas Coomans, Tullia Iori, Werner Lorenz and Robert Thorne. On Wednesday July 11, we step outside the walls of the marvellous congress venue and offer you the opportunity to discover the construction history of Brussels and Belgium, by means of guided tours and site visits to remarkable buildings, construction sites, institutions and archives. Other opportunities to discover Brussels are the welcome reception (Monday evening) and congress dinner (Thursday evening), which will also take place in inspiring venues.
