From 14 to 16 November, the annual VI International Scientific Conference Integration, Partnership And Innovation In Construction Science And Education, was held at the NIU MGSU, which has traditionally been the official language of English.
Ph.D., s.r. Smirnov V.A. and Ph.D., j.r. Inozemtsev S.S. presented the main program with presentations on "Design of Nanomodified Intumescent Polymer Matrix Coatings: Theory, Modeling, Experiments" with a presentation on "Technological Features of Production Calcium-Alginate Microcapsules for Self-Healing Asphalt", respectively. The presented reports were based on the completed research projects for the development of nanomodified intumescent matrices (authors: V. Smirnov, A. Evstigneev and E. Korolev) and Self-repairing asphalt concrete technology (authors: S. Inozemtsev, E. Korolev .).

The main research areas in 2018 were: the concept of Smart-City; modern building materials; reliability of buildings and structures; new construction technologies; safety in construction.

The conference was attended by scientists from different countries: Russia, Vietnam, Germany, China, Latvia, Italy, Poland, Brazil, Portugal, Canada, Slovakia, USA, Lebanon, Sweden, Estonia, Iran, Great Britain, Kazakhstan, Belarus and the Czech Republic.
