Conferences
6–11 July 2025, Bologna, Italy
The 21st International Conference on Experimental Mechanics
Conferences in the ICEM series were initiated in 1959 in Delft and further successfully continued in 1962 Paris, 1966 Berlin, 1970 Cambridge, 1974 Udine, 1978 Munich, 1982 Haifa, 1986 Amsterdam, 1990 Copenhagen, 1994 Lisbon, 1998 Oxford, 2004 Bari, 2007 Aleksandropoulis, 2010 Poiters, 2012 Porto, 2014 Cambridge, 2016 Rhodes, 2018 Brussels, 2022 Krakow and 2023 Porto. The conferences are organized under the auspices of the European Society for Experimental Mechanics (EuraSEM).
ICEM events bring together internationally recognized experts and young researchers to encourage the exchange of ideas on different topics that are connected to experimental mechanics. The conferences also serve as a platform for establishing connections between different research teams and the development of future scientific collaboration.
