The premier international conference in the field of composite materials was first held in 1975 in both Geneva and Boston. Since then, it has been held biennially in cities in North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and Africa. ICCM 23 will attract the leading researchers and practitioners, to report and exchange ideas on the latest developments in the advancement and exploitation of a wide range of composites materials and structures. The general themes of material development, testing, modelling, manufacturing and design will encompass a breadth of topics which will provide a comprehensive global snap-shot of the state-of-the-art.
