Dear Colleague,
it is a great pleasure to invite you to attend the fifteenth European Conference on Composite Materials (ECCM 15) to be held in the wonderful and romantic Venice (Italy) from June 24th to 28th, 2012.

The Conference is organised by the Department of Management and Engineering of the University of Padova in cooperation with the Italian Cluster of Nanotechnology (Veneto Nanotech), under the patronage of the European Society for Composite Materials (ESCM).
As you know, ECCM is the Europe's leading conference on composite materials and,
traditionally, host scientists, engineers and designers, both of Academia and Industry, coming from all the areas of the world.
The size of the worldwide composite community has been growing significantly in the last years and over 1,000 participants are expected to attend the event.

In view of a complete and proper exploitation of composites, in the different fields of application, the Conference aims to represent a forum for exchanging ideas, presenting the latest developments and trends, proposing new solutions
and promoting international collaborations. For this aim we are preparing a comprehensive program which include plenary and keynote lectures, several symposia on a variety of topics as well as technical workshops on subject of industrial interest. Special attention is given to the social program to obtain the maximum benefit from the beauty of the city.

I warmly invite you to join us and enjoy ECCM15. Together with all the Members of the Scientific and Organizing Committee, I look forward to meeting you in Venice!

Sincerely,




Marino Quaresimin

Chairman of ECCM15
