The 3rd International Conference on Construction Resources for Environmentally Sustainable Technologies, CREST 2026, will be held at Churchill College, Cambridge, UK on 7 - 8 September 2026 following successful conferences in 2023 and 2021.

CREST 2026 evolved from a collaboration between University of Cambridge and Kyushu University with the aim of addressing issues related to natural and man-made disasters and the impacts of climate change. This will include solutions to these disasters through the use of alternative resources, disruptive technologies and disaster mitigation measures which will allow the building of a sustainable and resilient society using geo-engineering.

The themes of CREST 2026 cover a broad range of interdisciplinary areas to enhance disaster preparedness and to "Build Back Better". This includes integrating disaster risk reduction into development measures, thereby making nations and communities more resilient to future disasters.
