   After the great success of "The 2012 World Congress on Advances in Civil, Environmental, and Materials Research (ACEM12)" held in Seoul, Korea in 2012, the second World Congress (ACEM14) has been organized by combining eight International Conferences to be held in Busan, Korea in 2014. 

The Congress aims at providing the first step fusion approach to solve the global problems of infrastructure, new materials, and environmental issues. Each conference of the Congress will be independently organized within ACEM14 in cooperation with other neighboring conferences. Thus the Congress will be a premier international forum that bring together academics and practicing engineers to exchange the frontier research results in the allied technologies under the topics of infrastructure, environmental, and materials research. 

Also, the Congress will be held in association with Techno-Press Journals of Civil & Environmental Engineering and Materials Science, providing excellent publishing opportunities for the participants.

    Eight International Conferences are organized within ACEM14. For more details, please link the conference of your interest:
