In 2025, the ICSI organization focused on inviting lecturers related to topics that dominate the contemporary status in Structural Integrity, such as Prof. Virgínia Infante from Instituto Superior Técnico, working in the field of Failure Analysis, Prof. Alicia Salazar from Rey Juan Carlos University in Madrid, devoted to the non-conventional mechanical characterization and Structural Integrity of composite materials or Prof. Humberto Varum from Porto University, fully engaged in infrastructures Structural Integrity. Similar to previous editions, ICSI2025 has been organized into a general track and a number of thematic symposia. In addition to Procedia Structural Integrity, special issues of several important well-known journals will cover ICSI2025. In 2025, ICSI is also hosting the REOTech International Conference on Renewable Energies and Ocean Technologies, which is expected to provide a forum for interdisciplinary, cross-fertilization of innovative thinking. The response to the organisation’s efforts has been outstanding: ten symposia were organized, and the number of abstract submissions was maintained at a similar level to previous editions, with around 180 approved for oral communication. These are very challenging times for organizing meaningful conferences, but the organisers strived to make this 6th Edition a memorable one, which will stimulate both young and well-known researchers in the field to contribute further to ICSI.
