ZEMCH pursues its objectives through international industry-academia collaborative study tours, international conferences and workshops supported by a solid network of over 900 global partners from academia, industry and government, based in over 45 countries. Since 2012, ZEMCH has organized conferences and events across the globe. Past conferences have taken place in Europe, the United States, South America, Asia and Australia. It is the first time that the ZEMCH conference comes to the Middle East, a region of fast growth and urbanization under extreme climate making it an intriguing and urgent journey for a sustainable built environment and climate resilience.

It also hoped to inspire participants from a wide array of themes and interest to initiate collaborations within and across disciplines in the pursuit of a sustainable and healthy living.
Another great opportunity is that ZEMCH 2021 also coincides with the World Expo 2021 in Dubai. These opportunities and others are part of the technical and social tours scheduled during ZEMCH 2021 conference to complement your scientific event. The UAE offers an interesting setting for such a relevant up-front meeting.
