International Conference on Experimental Mechanics ICEM19 in 2022 in Kraków

The conference brings together internationally leading researchers across a wide range of disciplines in both academia and industry to interchange ideas and discuss new research. The (1959 Delft; 1962 Paris; 1966 Berlin; 1970 Cambridge; 1974 Udine; 1978 Munich; 1982 Haifa; 1986 Amsterdam; 1990 Copenhagen; 1994 Lisbon; 1998 Oxford; 2004 Bari; 2007 Alexandropoulis; 2010 Poitiers; 2012 Porto; 2014 Cambridge; 2016 Rhodes; 2018 Brussels) are the premier events to showcase novel and innovative research in Experimental Mechanics. The decision to entrust the organization of the ICEM19 in Poland has been taken by the EuraSEM Council during the ICEM17 in Greece after presentation of the polish proposal by Elżbieta Pieczyska and Zbigniew Kowalewski.

The Conference will be focused on experimental and measuring techniques for thorough study of the mechanical properties of different materials, engineering structures and systems which are necessary to create the physical bases and provide verification of analytical or numerical methods in engineering design.

Besides of the scientific program, it will be an opportunity to explore and discover the city of Kraków, the former capital of Poland, one of the most beautiful Polish cities with a tradition dating back over 1000 years. Everyone who was at least once in this city will not forget the impression left by the local atmosphere of the old castle walls, the Wawel hill with the dragon's cave, stretching just above the lazily flowing Vistula River, a charming Sukiennice market with a beautiful St. Mary's Church and plenty of greenery, including those around the old area, named Planty.
