Congress Objectives
Advanced ceramics are continuously delivering significant contributions to technical and economic progress in nearly all industry sectors. The Congress aims at gathering together international experts in the field of ceramic science and material modelling with representatives from research institutes and industry in order to enhance the communication between experimental materials research and computational work, to improve efficiency in several steps of the processing procedures and to predict the potential of new advanced materials under specific application conditions and for specific functionalities. Particular emphasis will be given to advanced ceramics employed in emerging sectors also including nanotechnology, bio-engineering and medicine. |
Important DatesNov 1, 2014 March 15, 2015 Mar 30, 2015 Jan 1 - May 15, 2015 May 16 - June 30, 2015 |
Key points will be: constitutive modelling, computer simulation and design, experimental calibration and validation of the ceramic forming process and of innovative ceramic products.
During the Congress a special session will be held to celebrate Prof. Tomasz Hueckel's 70th birthday.
A special issue of Journal of European Ceramic Society is planned as the outcome of the CERMODEL2015 congress (submission deadline: October 31, 2015).
