Innovations in steel for Eco-Responsible structures

Join industry experts and academics at Polytech Lille for a day-long symposium dedicated to the latest trends in the manufacturing of steel and the design of eco-responsible structures. This event will delve into innovations in steel for large-scale bridges, high-strength rolled beams for steel-concrete composite bridges, and pile-supported abutments, addressing the environmental challenges and sustainability in construction. 

This event will primarily be conducted in French.
