The conference showcases cutting-edge research and product developments in advanced ceramics, armor ceramics, solid oxide fuel cells, ceramic coatings, bioceramics and more. Symposium 13 "Advanced Ceramics and Composites for Nuclear and Fusion Applications" provides a venue for materials scientists and nuclear engineers to discuss the opportunities and needs of advanced ceramics and composites in such energy systems, and current state of the art for science and technology of these materials ranging from materials design, processing, and properties to qualification and licensing.

The achievements of the European materials development projects carried out in the COST Actions 536 ‘Alloy Development for Critical Components of Environmentally Friendly Power Plant‘ and 538 ‘High Temperature Plant Lifetime Extension‘ which are ended in 2009 and 2008, respectively, will be reviewed.

Materials challenges for future for future nuclear fission and fusion technologies

This second edition of IC3 “International Carbon Composites Conference” will be held in the heart of Aerospace Valley, worldwide competitiveness cluster grouping the skills of Bordeaux/Aquitaine and Toulouse/Midi-Pyrenees regions.

on "Development of new structural materials for advanced fission and fusion reactor systems" in parallel to "Fusion for Energy in Barcelona".

The HT-CMC 7 conference will cover the current international status on CMCs including high temperature materials like carbon/carbon, MAX-phases, ultra-high temperature ceramics, polymer derived ceramics as well as thermal and environmental barrier coatings.

The objective of the Symposium on Fusion Technology (SOFT) is to exchange information on design, construction and operation of fusion experiments and on the technology for present fusion machines, the next step and power plants. It includes oral and poster presentations as well as an industrial and R&D exhibition.

The Congress 'Materials Science and Engineering' is supported by 16 materials societies and offers multilateral parties the opportunity to exchange ideas and to organise societal activities in this thematic field.

The ExtreMat Conference will show the radically new approach to the development of materials solutions for extreme environments.

ITSC is an opportunity for the global thermal spray community to meet, exchange information and conduct business. This outstanding annual event in the world of thermal spray technology is jointly organized by the German Welding Society (DVS), the ASM Thermal Spray Society (TSS) and the International Insitute of Welding (IIW).

European Congress on Advanced Materials and Processes

Max-Planck-Institute for Plasma Physics (Garching and Greifswald) is organising the “11th International Workshop on Plasma-Facing Materials and Components for Fusion Applications (PFMC-11)”. This workshop is the successor of the former “International Workshop on Carbon Materials for Fusion Applications”.

Traditional internationally-oriented series of Solid Mechanics Conferences (Solmech), organized presently every two years by the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences (IFTR PAS), under auspice of the Committee of Mechanics PAS, have favored the exchange of ideas and experiences between scientists and researchers from different countries in a wide scope of solid mechanics areas.

The Carbon conference series comprises leading international meetings dedicated to the science and technology of carbon materials. Carbon 2006 will be hosted by the British Carbon Group and will be held at The Robert Gordon University in the historic Scottish city of Aberdeen.

In 1986, the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM) was formally established. The General and Executive Councils were confirmed and the Constitution approved. With the Constitution giving equal emphasis to the three geographical Regions of America, Euro-Africa and Australia-Asia a rotation of such World Congresses between the regions on a two year cycle was established.

The European Materials Research Society (E-MRS), a non profit scientific association founded in 1983, is focussing on creating the synergy between interdisciplinary, innovative technologies, diffusing and exchanging information and promoting technology transfer from public institutions towards industry.
