ECCM: more than 40 years serving the composite community 

The first European Conference on Composite Materials (ECCM) was held in Bordeaux in September 1985. Since then, 21 conferences have been organized, and ECCM has become one of the most important events dedicated to composite materials for academia and industry. Organized biannually under the patronage of the ESCM, it attracts more than 1000 participants from all over the world.

ECCM23

The 23rd European Conference on Composite Materials will take place in Dresden, Germany, from June 26 to 30, 2028. ΕCCM22 is organized by the Dresden University of Technology (TU Dresden), under the patronage of ESCM!

Ecc M23 Logo

ECCM23 covers a broad, interdisciplinary spectrum of research and development on composite materials, with a particular focus on application and production technology. Beyond engineering and materials science, Dresden offers synergies with electrical engineering, computer science, biology and biotechnology.

Poster presentations, workshops and tutorials give undergraduates and post-docs hands-on experience of an international conference. Posters are shown prominently in the catering areas; a side exhibition runs on all days, focusing on measuring and testing equipment, software, business careers, and systems and mechanical engineering.
