Building bridges between research, practice, and policy for sustainable development
The International Conference on Sustainable Science and Infrastructure Development (ICSSID) is an interdisciplinary, double-blind, peer-reviewed event that provides a global platform for advancing research and practice in sustainability science, resilient infrastructure, and emerging technologies.
ICSSID 2026 brings together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, industry experts, and students from around the world to share cutting-edge research, innovative solutions, and best practices that address urgent global challenges through the lens of sustainability and resilience.
To foster interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange that advances sustainable development through innovative scientific research, resilient infrastructure solutions, and emerging technologies that can transform communities and societies.
Interconnected domains driving sustainable innovation
Exploring climate-resilient solutions, green materials, circular economy principles, and energy-efficient systems that address environmental, economic, and social sustainability challenges across multiple scales.
Advancing sustainable transport systems, smart cities, renewable energy infrastructure, innovative financing mechanisms, governance frameworks, and inclusive policy approaches for resilient communities.
Leveraging artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, smart grid technologies, digital twins, and other emerging technologies to create intelligent, adaptive, and sustainable infrastructure systems.
ICSSID serves as a catalyst for transformative research and practice in sustainability science and infrastructure development. Our conference creates lasting impact through:
Facilitating meaningful dialogue between academic researchers, industry practitioners, and policy makers to bridge the gap between research and real-world application.
Selected papers are considered for publication in prestigious journals including the Journal of Sustainability Science and Infrastructure Development (JSSID) and Ghana Journal of Technology (GJT).
Building international partnerships and collaborative networks that extend beyond the conference to create lasting professional relationships and research collaborations.
Contributing evidence-based research and recommendations that inform policy decisions and strategic planning for sustainable development at local, national, and international levels.
The University of Mines and Technology (UMaT) in Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana, is a leading institution in mining, engineering, and technology education in West Africa. The Sustainable Research and Innovation Department (SRID) at UMaT is at the forefront of sustainability research and innovation.
UMaT-SRID has established itself as a center of excellence for sustainability science, bringing together multidisciplinary expertise in environmental science, engineering, technology, and policy. The department's research focus aligns perfectly with ICSSID's mission to advance sustainable development through innovative research and practice.
Ghana's strategic location in West Africa, combined with its political stability, rich cultural heritage, and growing focus on sustainable development, makes it an ideal host for an international conference on sustainability and infrastructure. The country's commitment to renewable energy, sustainable mining practices, and climate resilience provides a perfect backdrop for discussions on global sustainability challenges.
