Welcome to ISRERM2026
The International Symposium on Reliability Engineering and Risk Management (ISRERM) is a significant biennial international conference that serves as a pivotal platform for the exchange of knowledge and innovative applications in the fields of reliability-based, risk-based, and uncertainty-informed decision-making and on their application to a wide range of industrial, technical and academic problems in civil and around engineering.
ISRERM was jointly established by Professor Jie Li and Professor Yan-Gang Zhao with support from Professor Alfredo Ang in 2008 to promote scientific development and innovative application. Over the years, ISRERM has garnered international recognition, with a rich history of hosting conferences at esteemed institutions worldwide. Past symposiums have been hosted at prestigious locations such as Tongji University, Shanghai, China (2008, 2010), Kanagawa University, Yokohama, Japan (2012), Taiwan University of Science & Technology, Chinese Taipei (2014), Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea (2016), National University of Singapore, Singapore (2018), Beijing University of Technology, China (2020), Leibniz University Hannover, Germany (2022), and Hefei University of Technology & Tongji University, China (2024). It is with great excitement that we announce the forthcoming 10th ISRERM, scheduled to be hosted by Hokkaido University and Kanto Gakauin University Japan, from June 28th to July 1st, 2026.
As organizers, we eagerly anticipate the vigorous exchange of ideas and visions, all within the framework of our broad thematic coverage. We look forward to welcoming scholars, researchers, and engineers from across the globe to ISRERM 2026.
