Conferences
24–28 June 2012, Venice, Italy
15th European Conference on Composite Materials
The Conference is organized by the Department of Management and Engineering of the University of Padova in cooperation with the Italian Cluster of Nanotechnology (Veneto Nanotech), under the patronage of the European Society for Composite Materials (ESCM). As you know, ECCM is the Europe’s leading conference on composite materials and, traditionally, host scientists, engineers and designers, both of Academia and Industry, coming from all the areas of the world. The size of the worldwide composite community has been growing significantly in the last years and over 1,000 participants are expected to attend the event.
In view of a complete and proper exploitation of composites, in the different fields of application, the Conference aims to represent a forum for exchanging ideas, presenting the latest developments and trends, proposing new solutions and promoting international collaborations. For this aim we are preparing a comprehensive program which include plenary and keynote lectures, several symposia on a variety of topics as well as technical workshops on subject of industrial interest. Special attention is given to the social program to obtain the maximum benefit from the beauty of the city.
