The journal of Research & Design (REDE) is pleased to announce a collaboration with the International Conference on AI in Construction & Sustainable Built Environment (ICAIC 2026). The conference will be held on December 17-18, 2026, at Thiagarajar College of Engineering in Madurai, India. This collaboration aligns with REDE’s interdisciplinary scope, particularly in areas where artificial intelligence, civil and structural engineering, sustainable materials, and smart urban planning intersect to create innovative solutions.
As part of this agreement, authors of selected papers presented at ICAIC 2026 will be invited to submit extended versions of their research to REDE. All submitted manuscripts will undergo the journal’s standard and rigorous peer-review process. Articles that are accepted after the peer-review process will be published in REDE, ensuring global accessibility through open-access publication. In accordance with REDE’s publication policy, all expenditures are reimbursed by the MIM Research Group. Therefore, authors of the accepted expanded papers will not incur any publication or processing fees.
For more information about the conference themes, important dates, and registration, please visit the official ICAIC 2026 website at https://icaic2026.tce.edu. Authors interested in this opportunity should ensure their extended submissions adhere to the formatting and ethical standards of the Journal of Research & Design.
