| Planned Schedule of the Workshop |
The rapidly changing face of both developed and developing countries calls upon newer and more sophisticated infrastructure needs all around the world. Major activities are hence being taken up by the governments in order to develop and maintain such infrastructure. Sharing ideas, discussing success stories and laying out future directions in infrastructure development will be major activities taken up in the planned workshop. The scholarly presentations made by the eminent participants from academia, the construction industry, the government sector from various parts of the world will bring together diversified experiences and visions. The two-day long workshop will start with seminar presentations delivered by experts participating from the Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) and US in the workshop. And in its concluding session on the second day, the thoughts presented and discussed by participants from many parts of the world will be presented and compiled in the form of proceedings of the workshop. The proposed two-day workshop will have the following tentative schedule: |
