ReSBE 2026: ReShaping the Built Environment through Sustainability and Circularity

About ReSBE 2026

ReSBE 2026 is your opportunity to shape the future of the built environment through sustainability with an emphasis on circularity.

The Laboratory of Building Construction and building Physics of the School of Civil Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Minho, along with the COST Action CA21103, join forces to host a conference dedicated to sustainability and circular economy in the built environment. The conference is proudly supported by the International Initiative for a Sustainable Built Environment (iiSBE). 

The conference theme “ReShaping the Built Environment through Sustainability and Circularity” highlights the urgent need to move beyond incremental improvements and embrace transformative approaches that drive systemic change in design, construction, operation, and renewal of the built environment.

Researchers, practitioners, innovators, policymakers, and experts from across disciplines, geographies, and sectors are invited to contribute to the shared vision of a regenerative and resource-efficient built environment.

Welcome Message from the ReSBE 2026 Conference Chairs

The built environment is being redefined. Innovation, digitalisation, and circular thinking are transforming how we design, construct, and renew our spaces. ReSBE 2026 is where these transformations converge to ultimately lead to a more sustainable world.

Over three days in Thessaloniki, exchange ideas that cross borders and boundaries — from AI and material circularity to regenerative cities and adaptive design. Expect open dialogue, disruptive insights, and the energy of a global community that believes innovation is inseparable from sustainability.

Join, contribute, and help accelerate the transition toward a regenerative built environment.
