Material Strength
& Durability Symposium
The 4th edition of the Material Strength & Durability Symposium will once again feature talks by world-renowned experts in the field. They will cover both experimental and modelling/computational research and discuss recent advances in the understanding of material strength and durability.
Strength and durability are key factors which determine the potential and limitations of materials applied in all disciplines of engineering. For this reason, the accurate prediction of material strength and toughness, the full control over material degradation due to environmental and long-term service conditions, and the optimal design of micro- and mesostructures for increased material performance and reliability are crucial challenges in the development of new technologies.

The symposium aims to create a forum for the doctoral students to hear about a wide range of exciting research in 'Material Strength & Durability'. To foster exchange with the speakers, doctoral students of the 'Strength & Durability of Materials' Track of the MaP Doctoral School are encouraged to give a pitch of five minutes and receive direct feedback from the expert round. As a reward, they will be invited to the symposium dinner.
