The 20th edition, EMMC20, will be held in Florence (Italy), 27th - 29th May 2026.
The is a meeting point for researchers with common interests in mechanics of materials from different perspectives including mechanical engineering, physics, biomechanics, applied mathematics, applied technologies, chemistry, etc.
Contributions will cover research at different length scales including model development and validation, advanced experimental techniques, and computational methods applied to the mechanics of materials.
The Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the Univ. of Florence will organize the conference, which will be located in the Palazzo dei Congressi (Map), close to the S. Maria Novella train station and near downtown Florence.
Looking forward to welcoming you in Florence in 2026,
