🚧 Why Are We Still Fixing Structures the Old Way? Every civil engineer, researcher, and policymaker working in structural rehabilitation knows this frustrating reality: ❌ Aging infrastructure is failing faster than we can repair it. ❌ Funding & research often lag behind real-world demands. ❌ New AI, UAV & SHM technologies exist—but industry adoption is slow. ❌ Sustainable & resilient retrofitting is still not the norm. We’re stuck reacting to failures instead of preventing them. This isn’t just inefficient—it’s costly and dangerous. But what if we had a platform where leading researchers, industry experts, and policymakers came together to tackle these challenges head-on? 🚀 Enter CARRS 2025 – The Global Gathering for Structural Rehabilitation & Retrofitting Experts! 🗓️ December 11-13, 2025 | IIT Roorkee, India This is where theory meets practice—a stage where academicians, engineers, and industry leaders don’t just discuss problems but showcase real, practical solutions. 💡 What’s on the agenda? ✅ AI, UAV & Advanced Diagnostics – How to predict failures before they happen ✅ Sustainability in Retrofitting – Making low-carbon repairs the new standard ✅ Resilient Infrastructure – Preparing for seismic shifts, climate impact & disasters ✅ Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) & SHM – The future of real-time health monitoring ✅ Heritage Restoration & Case Studies – Learning from past challenges 🎤 Learn from Global Experts, Including: 🌍 Prof. Nemkumar Banthia (UBC) | Prof. Venkatesh Kodur (Michigan State University) | Prof. Pang Sze Dai (NUS) | Prof. Shamim Sheikh (University of Toronto) … and many more! 📣 Why Should You Care? 🔹 If you’re an academic, this is where your research meets industry impact. 🔹 If you’re an engineer, this is where you upgrade your knowledge & network. 🔹 If you’re an industry leader, this is where innovation turns into real solutions. 📜 Call for Abstracts is OPEN! 🚀 Submit your research & be part of this movement. 📅 Key Deadlines: 📝 Abstract Submission Deadline: April 30, 2025 🎟️ Early Bird Registration Closes: August 31, 2025 🔗 Join the revolution in structural rehabilitation → www.carrs2025.com Tag a colleague, mentor, or industry expert who should not miss this! #CARRS2025 #StructuralHealth #Retrofitting #CivilEngineering #ResilientInfrastructure #IITRoorkee #NDT #SHM #Sustainability #CRRI Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)

🔥 This is the kind of initiative the industry desperately needs! We can’t afford to keep playing catch-up with failing infrastructure while the technology to prevent disasters is already here. 💡 A question for the experts: What are the biggest roadblocks to widespread adoption of AI, UAVs, and SHM in structural rehabilitation? Is it cost, regulation, or just resistance to change? Looking forward to the discussions at #CARRS2025—this could be a turning point for sustainable and resilient retrofitting! 🚀
