33rd BALI Global Congress on Sustainable Solutions in Civil & Architectural Engineering (SSCAE-25)

33rd BALI Global Congress on Sustainable Solutions in Civil & Architectural Engineering (SSCAE-25) scheduled on Dec. 25-27, 2025 Bali (Indonesia) is for the scientists, scholars, engineers and students from the Universities all around the world and the industry to present ongoing research activities, and hence to foster research relations between the Universities and the industry. This conference provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.
