We are pleased to announce an impressive line up of academics, researchers and PhD students from the Bristol Composites Institute (BCI) who will be presenting their latest work at ECCM21 (the 21st European Conference on Composite Materials) in Nantes, France, from 2nd-5th July 2024.
ECCM is Europe’s leading conference on composite materials and will provide a forum for access to the latest knowledge from both industry and academia in all areas of composite materials. The event is organised by the Institute of Civil Engineering and Mechanics (GeM) of the Nantes Université and Centrale Nantes, under the patronage of the European Society for Composite Materials (ESCM) and the French Association for Composite Materials (AMAC).
The NextCOMP team will be hosting sessions on “Understanding and improving longitudinal compressive strength”. These will be taking place in Auditorium 450 on Wednesday 3rd July, 14:30-16:00, and all day on Thursday 4th July, including a keynote from Prof. Michael Wisnom at 14:00 on the Thursday.
