Science for Adaptation Conference

Municipalities, governments, businesses, and civil society organizations need research to develop practical, actionable solutions that will help adapt infrastructure to the impacts of climate change.

Meeting this challenge requires collaboration among researchers in engineering and the natural sciences, the social sciences and humanities, and governance. This conference will bring together the infrastructure adaptation research community around fifteen themes organized into five broad areas: water and coastal environments; buildings, materials and energy; transportation and exposed territories; governance and economics; and social and societal issues.

Researchers and graduate students, this is an opportunity to showcase your work, build new collaborations, and engage with future users of research. Awards will be presented for the best student presentations.

Municipalities, governments, businesses, and the general public, join us to discover innovative research-based solutions and connect with the people developing them.

The call for abstracts is open until January 31st, 2027.

Registrations opens in Febuary, 2027.

Presentations and keynote talks may be delivered in either French or English. The language of each session will be indicated in the conference program. Participants who wish to follow presentations delivered in the other language are encouraged to use their own real-time translation tools, if needed.
