About IPCCE
Higher education, particularly at the postgraduate level, plays a strategic role in producing innovative research that contributes to sustainable development. In the field of civil engineering, global challenges are becoming increasingly complex with the rise of issues such as climate change, growing infrastructure demands, rapid urbanization, and the need for sustainable and resilient development. Therefore, there is a pressing need for an academic platform that facilitates the exchange of knowledge, research findings, and experiences among researchers, students, practitioners, and stakeholders from various countries.
In recent years, the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering (FTSL) of Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), together with its postgraduate students, has organized the National Postgraduate Conference on Civil Engineering (KNPTS) annually. This event has proven to be an effective forum for sharing research outcomes, expanding academic networks, and strengthening postgraduate students’ contributions to the advancement of civil engineering knowledge in Indonesia.
Recognizing the need to enhance the quality and reach of academic activities, this year the conference is being elevated to an international scale under a new name: the International Postgraduate Conference on Civil Engineering (IPCCE). This transformation is expected to open wider opportunities for international collaboration, enrich academic perspectives, and reinforce the position of FTSL ITB as a leading center for research and education in civil engineering at the global level.
IPCCE 2025 is scheduled to be held on December 3–4, 2025, with the main theme “Resilient Infrastructure for Sustainable Development: Innovations and Challenges in Civil Engineering”. The conference aims to bring together academics, researchers, students, and practitioners from Indonesia and abroad to discuss emerging issues and the latest research trends in civil engineering.
With the support of FTSL ITB as the main organizing institution, this event is expected not only to enhance the faculty’s international academic reputation but also to make a tangible contribution to strengthening research networks and global collaboration, in line with ITB’s vision of becoming a world-class university.
Purpose
The International Postgraduate Conference on Civil Engineering (IPCCE) 2025 is intended to serve as an international academic forum that accomodates postgraduate students, researchers, and practitioners to present their research findings, exchange knowledge, and build collaborative networks in the field of civil engineering. This event also aims to strengthen the position of the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering (FTSL) of Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) as a center of academic and research excellence at the global level.
