Call for Abstracts on Circularity in the Built Environment: ReSBE 2026 in Thessaloniki
Significant momentum is building around circularity and sustainability in the built environment as the call for abstracts for ReSBE 2026 is now open. The conference will take place in Thessaloniki from 20 to 23 October 2026 and is jointly organized by Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the University of Minho, and COST Action CA21103, with the support of iiSBE.
Call for Abstracts on Circularity for ReSBE 2026 - Deadline 30 November 2025
ReSBE 2026 focuses on transforming how buildings and cities are designed, constructed, operated, and renewed through circular design, design for adaptability and disassembly, digitalization, lifecycle metrics, climate resilience, and policy innovation. This call represents an important opportunity for our community to consolidate knowledge and shape the next phase of scientific progress.
Colleagues who contributed to Circularity in the Built Environment 2025 in Tampere (Satu Huuhka) are strongly encouraged to participate. Both events form a continuous trajectory, and advancing the field requires consistent engagement across these platforms. Lionel Devlieger, Maud Lanau, Jennifer Minner, Danielle Densley Tingley, Lisbeth M. Ottosen and many others.
COST CircularB WG3 will coordinate a dedicated special session on circularity assessment, adaptability, disassembly, digital tools, material passports, resource efficiency, and indicator development. WG3 contributors are invited to propose topics and join writing teams using the official form. COST requires at least three different COST countries in each collaborative publication, reinforcing the international dimension of our work.
Abstracts require about 200 words. Accepted papers will be published by Springer Nature in Tracts in Civil Engineering and indexed in Scopus.
