The Mediterranean, known for its history, culture, and beauty, has captivated the hearts and minds of people for centuries. From the shores of Greece to the cliffs of Italy, from the ancient ruins of Egypt to the olive groves of Spain, the Mediterranean offers a mass of landscapes that have shaped civilizations and continue to inspire humanity.
Through this conference, we aim to celebrate the connection between humanity and the Mediterranean landscapes, recognizing the interplay between nature and culture. Our goal is to advance a deeper understanding of the complexities that characterize these landscapes by stepping beyond disciplinary boundaries and adopting a comprehensive approach.
Landscapes, in all their forms, hold stories. They are witnesses to history, the products of human intervention, and the sources of inspiration for artistic expression. Through examining the distinct features of Mediterranean environments, the conference seeks to illuminate their ecological, social, and cultural importance.
The conference will be a chance for participants to engage in thought-provoking discussions, presentations, and workshops, led by experts in their respective fields. The conference will discuss topics such as sustainable land management, the impact of climate change on Mediterranean landscapes, the role of landscapes in cultural heritage preservation, as well as economic development, sustainable energy solutions, the intersection of environmental and socio-economic challenges in the region, and much more.

About SUCI
Sustainable Civil Infrastructures (SUCI) is a series of peer-reviewed books and proceedings based on the best studies on emerging research from all fields related to sustainable infrastructures and aiming at improving our well-being and day-to-day lives. The infrastructures we are building today will shape our lives tomorrow. The complex and diverse nature of the impacts due to weather extremes on transportation and civil infrastructures can be seen in our roadways, bridges, and buildings. Extreme summer temperatures, droughts, flash floods, and rising numbers of freeze-thaw cycles pose challenges for civil infrastructure and can endanger public safety. We constantly hear how civil infrastructures need constant attention, preservation, and upgrading. Such improvements and developments would obviously benefit from our desired book series that provides sustainable engineering materials and designs. The economic impact is huge and much research has been conducted worldwide. The future holds many opportunities, not only for researchers in a given country, but also for the worldwide field engineers who apply and implement these technologies. We believe that no approach can succeed if it does not unite the efforts of various engineering disciplines from all over the world under one umbrella to offer a beacon of modern solutions to the global infrastructure. Experts from the various engineering disciplines around the globe will participate in this series, including: Geotechnical, Geological, Geoscience, Petroleum, Structural, Transportation, Bridge, Infrastructure, Energy, Architectural, Chemical and Materials, and other related Engineering disciplines.
SUCI series is now indexed in SCOPUS and EI Compendex.

Eco-economics, sustainable growth, and environmental health are three pillars of a thriving future. Eco-economics explores how our economic activities impact the environment and emphasizes the importance of creating systems that support both. Eco-economics encourages practices that protect our planet.
