MAIRE INFRA27

Abreu Events Supports the Organization of MAIRE INFRA27 in Guimarães

The 3rd International Conference on Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Constructed Infrastructure Facilities (MAIRE INFRA27) will take place from 27 to 30 July 2027 at the Centro Cultural Vila Flor in Guimarães, Portugal, bringing together an international community of researchers, engineers, consultants, government representatives and industry professionals.

Organized by the University of Minho, the conference will provide a platform for sharing scientific knowledge, presenting technological advances and exploring innovative approaches to the maintenance and rehabilitation of infrastructure. With a focus on roads, railways and airfields, MAIRE INFRA27 aims to foster collaboration between research and industry, addressing the challenges of developing infrastructure that is more sustainable, resilient and fit for the future.

MAIRE INFRA27: Building More Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure

The maintenance and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure are increasingly important challenges worldwide. Ensuring the long-term performance, safety and sustainability of roads, railways and airfields requires continuous innovation, effective management strategies and the application of advanced technologies.

MAIRE INFRA27 will explore these challenges through a multidisciplinary programme covering areas such as traffic, materials, design, construction, monitoring, maintenance and rehabilitation. By bringing together researchers and professionals from different backgrounds, the conference will encourage the exchange of knowledge and the discussion of solutions to improve infrastructure performance and extend service life.

The conference will also provide opportunities to strengthen connections between academia, public authorities, consultants and contractors, helping bridge the gap between scientific research and practical implementation. This exchange is essential to advancing infrastructure solutions that respond to evolving technical, environmental and societal demands.
