The European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS) and China Structural Integrity Consortium (CSIC) join forces to pioneer the biennial ESIS-CSIC conferences on Structural Integrity (BECCSI). Established post the Memorandum of Understanding signing during the 2024 International Symposium on Structural Integrity (ISSI2024), this collaborative initiative will rotate between Europe and China, commencing in 2025 in Europe. The inaugural event will be hosted in Belgrade, Serbia, organized by the Serbian Structural Integrity Society (DIVK). Together, we aim to elevate the standards of structural integrity practices and welcome professionals worldwide to engage in this transformative journey.

Presentations and posters will cover a range of fracture and fatigue topics (thematic sessions) with a special focus on:

• Structural integrity for advanced manufacturing
• Reliability-centered manufacturing
• Fatigue and fracture under extreme conditions
• Innovative non-destructive testing and monitoring techniques
• Multi-scale material testing, modelling and analysis
• Structural health monitoring and life extension
• Artificial intelligence and big data
• Numerical simulation of fracture and fatigue process
• Engineering damage mechanics
• Aircraft mechanics and control
