About CONF-FMCE 2025

The 3rd International Conference on Functional Materials and Civil Engineering (CONF-FMCE 2025) is a leading conference on functional materials, civil engineering, transportation engineering, energy engineering. University of Strathclyde is the co-organizers of CONF-FMCE 2025. CONF-FMCE 2025 is open to international participants. It provides an excellent opportunity for scholars interested in functional materials and civil engineering to share their findings and achievements, thus promoting communication and cooperation. This conference is supported by faculty members from University of Arizona, University of the West of England, and UNSW Sydney.

CONF-FMCE 2025 is a hybrid conference, establishing an online session and welcoming participants from all countries and regions to join whenever and wherever possible. Meanwhile, to facilitate broader academic exchange and knowledge sharing, CONF-FMCE 2025 will host multiple on-site symposium series at University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, UK) and Eskişehir Osmangazi University (Eskişehir, Turkey). Authors are welcome to submit their manuscripts to the symposium series, each of which will independently handle the submission and review process.

The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to highlight the importance of functional materials in civil engineering as well as establish new collaborations in these areas. The conference looks for significant contributions to functional materials, civil engineering, transportation engineering, energy engineering in theoretical and practical aspects.

Important Dates

Venue Final Submission Conference Date Notification of Acceptance
Online Session / October 24, 2025 /
Symposium Glasgow October 17, 2025 October 24, 2025 7-20 workdays
Symposium Eskişehir July 18, 2025 July 25, 2025 7-20 workdays

Review Process

The submission will first be reviewed for its topic and length, then go through an originality check. The peer-review process will begin soon after the paper is found to be qualified. The paper will be sent to have a double-blind peer review by 2 reviewers. They will judge the paper based on the theme, coverage, innovation, integrity, depth, and language. If the paper is accepted, notification of acceptance and review comments will be sent to the author via email. The actual review time may be different under certain situations.

Publication

All papers submitted to the conference will be assigned to the respective symposium committees based on factors such as submission date and topic relevance. Each symposium committee will then coordinate the peer review process, ensuring rigorous evaluation and making final decisions on acceptance and publication.

Journals

We call for excellent papers and review them according to the requirements of each journal. Qualified submissions will be directly recommended for publication in the following journals or corresponding Special Issues. The journals listed below have been indexed by Science Citation Index (SCI)/Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) and/or Social Science Citation Index (SSCI):

  • JCRQ2 - Actuators [Impact Factor: 2.6; CiteScore: 3.2]

Please refer to the 'Information > Publication' page for specific recommendation rules and guidelines.

Conference Proceedings

Accepted papers of CONF-FMCE 2025 will be published in conference proceedings according to the research field, which will be submitted to EI Compendex, Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI), Crossref, CNKI, Portico, Engineering Village (Inspec), Google Scholar, and other databases for indexing. The indexing result will be determined by the conference proceedings in which the paper is included.

The papers will be exported to production and publication on a regular basis. Early-registered papers are expected to be published online earlier.

Partner Journals

CONF-FMCE cooperates with the following journals and qualified papers have the opportunity to be recommended for publication in these journals.

Actuators (ISSN 2076-0825) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal on the science and technology of actuators and control systems published monthly online by MDPI. It is with a current Impact Factor of 2.6 (2022) and CiteScore of 3.2 (2022). Manuscripts are peer-reviewed and a first decision is provided to authors approximately 16.7 days after submission; acceptance to publication is undertaken in 2.5 days (median values for papers published in this journal in the second half of 2023).
