Student Hub ( ESO )

The annual IABSE Future of Design event is an established highlight in the calendar of the British Group of IABSE. It is now so popular and highly acclaimed that its formula is being adopted by other IABSE National Groups around the world. The event is a wonderful source of inspiration, particularly aimed at young people involved in the design of buildings, bridges and structures. Like all IABSE events, it is a great opportunity to meet other like-minded people who are, or aspire to be, engaged in exciting international projects, and participants will share ideas and hear from established practitioners as well from as other young presenters. It never fails to be a first class event, and this year, once again, we return to University College London to join forces with the Ken Kemp Bequest for what promises to be another memorable day. Come and see what you could achieve in your career and open your eyes to a world of opportunity! We look forward to welcoming you there.’
