Building physics researchers to gather at BME in September

BME will host a prestigious international conference in mid-September: the International Association for Building Physics (IABP) will hold the 6th Central European Symposium on Building Physics (CESBP) in Building K. Almost all members of the organizing team are lecturers at BME's Faculty of Civil Engineering.

After Krakow, Vienna, Dresden, Prague and Bratislava, CESBP is coming to Budapest. Despite its name, it is far from being a forum only for professionals working in the Central European region: the scientific committee includes members from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, the United States, Finland, Greece, Japan, Latvia, Great Britain, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Turkey –

from institutions such as Princeton University in the United States, Imperial College London in the United Kingdom, the University of Bolzano in Italy, Kyoto University in Japan, and the Catholic University of Leuven.

The conference will begin September 11 and two days later. More than 160 presentations will be given daily in several parallel sessions. "The objective of the symposium is to discuss the results of academic and industrial research and exchange invaluable experiences in the field of building physics," according to the CESBP website.

Participants from nearly 40 countries, from New Zealand to Taiwan, Morocco, Brazil, and Canada, have already registered. Those who wish to join can still do so until August 1st via this link.

IABP's special summer school will take place before the conference, between September 8 and 10, also at BME. It is primarily for doctoral students and young researchers. You can register for this one also at the link above.

The lecturers are: Umberto Berardi (University of Bari, Italy), Christiane Berger (Aalborg University, Denmark), Mark Bomberg (Clarkson University, USA), Jan Carmeliet (ETH Zurich, Switzerland), Michael Dengusiak, Jakub Ziólkowski (Hoare Lea consulting firm, UK), Dominique Derome (University of Sherbrooke, Canada), Feride Sener Yilmaz (ITÜ, Turkey), Targo Kalamees (TalTech, Estonia), Balázs Nagy (BME), Carsten Rode (DTU, Denmark), Jiri Zach (Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic), Zsuzsa Szalay (BME).
