LOCATION

The conference will be held in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil. Foz do Iguaçu is a place of converge for rivers, borders, nature, technology and people. Near the meeting of Paraná and Iguaçu rivers are the Iguaçu falls, listed as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, with a flow of up to 45 million liters per second, and worship place for Guarani Indians since ancient times. The triple border between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay is a melting pot for Lebanese, Chinese, Germans, Italians, French, Swedes, Portuguese and Ukrainians; also for Christians, Muslims and Buddhists. Foz do Iguaçu is home to the Itaipu dam, the world’s largest hydroelectric plant in power generation. In June 2016, Foz do Iguaçu will be the convergence place for academics, researchers and practitioners of bridge maintenance, safety and management, and a place for you to merge with nature and with other cultures.

We look forward to welcoming you to Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, for IABMAS 2016.
