The Technical University of Denmark, DTU Civil Engineering and the Danish Steel Institute were delighted to welcome more than 600 international delegates from 48 countries to Copenhagen in September 2017 to one of the most important events for steel researchers and professionals. Internationally well-known researchers and practitioners have contributed with fantastic keynote lectures and papers on the recent and future developments in Australia, United States and Europe.

Historical background
The Eurosteel conferences are organized every third year by academics from European universities on a non-commercial basis to be open and attractive to the entire structural steel community. At each conference, the Steering Committee meets to select the next organising university and conference chair, to improve and upgrade the Eurosteel conference idea, and stress the co-operation with the structural steel industry and ECCS. The focus of the Eurosteel conferences is the behaviour of steel and composite structures in the field of civil engineering design and construction. It involves the scientific research community, the professional domain of engineering and architecture, as well as the entrepreneurial world of builders and producers. The previous Eurosteel conferences have been in Athens (Greece, 1995), Prague (Czech Republic, 1999), Coimbra (Portugal, 2002), Maastricht (Holland, 2005), Graz (Austria, 2008), Budapest (Hungary, 2011) and Naples (Italy, 2014).
Chairman’s note
Since knowledge dissemination is important for researchers, the Proceedings of Eurosteel 2017 are published, indexed and made available online by Ernst & Sohn in The online collection for conference papers in civil engineering, ce/papers, Volume 1, Issue 2+3, September 2017, (Ernst & Sohn Verlag, Berlin). Furthermore, 10 of the best papers have been chosen for special publication in the journal of Steel Construction –Design and Research, Vol. 10, 2017, No. 3, August (Ernst & Sohn Verlag, Berlin).
A very special thank you and positive appraisals goes to the whole Scientific Committee without which the review process of the abstracts and papers would have been an impossible task.
