The organising committee aims at a high quality conference, with thematic sessions covering a broad variety of topics in the field of flow processes in composite processing. A mixture of academic and application related contributions is envisioned.
Program
The organising committee will offer
- a 3 day single session program
- thematic sessions
- academic and application oriented contributions
- poster sessions
- careful selection of papers for oral or poster presentation
Paper
The organising committee is pleased to announce that the board of Composites Part A has agreed on offering the possibility to submit a manuscript for a special edition on the FPCM conference. The submission is subject to the following conditions:
- The author’s abstract must be accepted for oral presentation (see Important Dates)
- The manuscript must be submitted the latest at July 13th 2014
- The manuscript is accepted or rejected according to the normal review process, controlled by the editor
- The manuscript must satisfy the format specified by Composite Part A
Poster
Poster submissions will be displayed during the entire conference near the room where the conference will be held. A special poster session will be an integral part of the program.
The organisation will print all poster contributions that are submitted in pdf format on A0 paper before June 30th. A non-obligatory template will be provided in due time to assist with making the poster.
