FAIRS & EVENTS186 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 2 | 2026 www.cpi-worldwide.comThe International Conference %u201cConcrete Sustainability: Materials and Structures %u2013 Low Carbon Concrete%u201d (CSMS 2025) was organized by the University of Malta and the International Federation for Structural Concrete fib, with the support of Xjenza Malta and the collaboration of Philip A Tabone and other leading entities. The International Conference was held on the 12th December 2025 at the Aula Magna of the University of Malta Valletta Campus while a Workshop was organised on the 15th December 2025 in the Cittadella in Gozo. CSMS 2025 (Concrete Sustainability: Materials and Structures) is an international conference dedicated to advancing knowledge, innovation, and collaboration in sustainable construction. Bringing together leading researchers, engineers, and industry professionals, the event will highlight the latest developments in both fundamental and applied research on cement-based materials, advanced construction technologies, and sustainable structural design. With a strong focus on reducing the environmental footprint of the built environment, CSMS 2025 presented breakthroughs in low-carbon concrete technologies, recycling and reuse strategies, and performance optimization aimed at creating durable and resilient structures. The conference featured keynote lectures by world-renowned experts covering key topics such as concrete rheology, high-performance concrete, and the emerging field of 3D-printed concrete. Serving as a dynamic platform for sharing cutting-edge research, exploring industrial applications, and fostering global partnerships, CSMS 2025 seeks to accelerate the transition toward more sustainable and resource-efficient construction practices worldwide.The conference is the 4th international event in the CSMS Series, organised by the Construction Materials and Structural Monitoring Research Group, at the Faculty for the Built Environment, University of Malta in collaboration with fib, and addressed the latest developments and innovation in concrete and reinforced concrete structures. The conference series, Chaired by Prof Ruben Paul Borg, addresses key areas in cement-based materials and structural engineering, in particular the latest innovation and advancement in research and industrial applications towards sustainability and resilient infrastructure.CSMS 2025 focused on the latest breakthroughs in low-carbon concrete technologies, sustainable structural design, and innovative construction materials, offering attendees a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge research and industrial applications.The Conference included keynote lectures by Professor Kamal Khayat, a world-renowned concrete scientist and Vice-Chancellor at University of Missouri S&T, who shared insights on self-consolidating concrete (SCC) and high-performance concrete applications. Professor Khayat%u2019s pioneering work in rheology has transformed construction practices worldwide, improving efficiency, safety, and sustainability.The conference also featured sessions on recycling and reuse strategies, digital technologies, AI and inspection of concrete bridges, 3D concrete printing and innovative low-carbon mortars and binders, with key contributions by local and international experts, including Prof. Ruben Paul Borg, Prof. Carl Debono, Prof Edward Gatt, Dr. Himanshu Sharma, Ing. Loai El Mawed and Industry partners.The Conference Chair Prof Ruben Paul Borg opened the conference presenting key concepts in low-carbon concrete, International fib Concrete Sustainability Conference 2025 Low Carbon Concrete in Maltan Professor Ruben Paul Borg, University of Malta, MaltaAnthony Tabone, Prof. Kamal Khayat and Prof. Ruben Borg (from left to right) at the CSMS 2025 Concrete Industry Forum
