fib Symposium 2025

Welcome to Antibes on the French Riviera

for the fib Symposium 2025 !

After the fib 2004 symposium in Avignon, we have the great pleasure to host the fib 2025 Symposium in France, and we invite you to join us in Antibes, near the city of Nice. Antibes is a mediterranean city located at the end of a cape and at the foot of the Maritime Alps.

This symposium is among the official symposium of « The International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib) » and covers the issues related to topics of concrete and innovative materials, durability, structural and sustainability performances and design, construction methods and management, and outstanding structures.

It will be a great opportunity for the exchange of recent advanced knowledge in concrete and concrete construction.

The symposium is strongly driven by the need of society to extend the lifespan of concrete structures and to build structures with limited impacts on the climate and the environment. All the stakeholders of the construction value chain should work together to achieve this goal.

Therefore, this symposium is an excellent forum to share knowledge and learn about durable and sustainable constructions.

Getting to Antibes is easy, through the International Airport of Nice, or from Paris with the Very high speed train (TGV) via Marseille. See our destination page on the website for more information on getting here.Contact: fib2025@afgc.asso.fr
