Programme
The European Composite Materials Congress (ECMC 2026) will feature a robust and forward-looking scientific program structured into parallel technical sessions across the three-day congress, bringing together composite materials scientists, engineers, industry leaders, and policymakers to discuss advances in composite materials, structures, manufacturing, and applications.
Program
ECMC 2026 will host high-quality plenary, keynote, invited, and technical lectures from international experts, covering the full spectrum of composite materials science and engineering—from fundamental research and processing technologies to industrial deployment and sustainability.
The parallel session structure provides flexibility for attendees to engage with topics most relevant to their field, encouraging interdisciplinary exchange and impactful collaboration throughout the congress.
- Opening Plenary Lectures by globally recognized leaders in composite materials research and engineering
- IAAM Fellow Assembly Sessions addressing strategic roadmaps, emerging trends, and future directions in composite materials and structures
- Parallel Technical Sessions covering polymer, metal-matrix, and ceramic-matrix composites; advanced manufacturing and automation; lightweight and structural composites; smart and multifunctional composites; and sustainable composite systems
- Congress Concluding Session highlighting scientific outcomes, future perspectives, and recognitions
Net Zero Congress Policy
AMC Assemblies is committed to implementing a Net Zero policy for the Congress. The environmental footprint of the event is assessed and managed in line with carbon reduction principles and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
While the venue operates on non-renewable energy sources, all other aspects of the Congress—including accommodation, catering, transportation, and event operations—are planned according to minimum-impact standards, supporting emission reduction, waste minimization, and responsible practices.
Through these climate-smart initiatives, ECMC 2026 aims to deliver measurable environmental benefits and invites all participants to support a greener and more sustainable future.
