CERMODEL2015 CONGRESS "Modelling and Simulation meet Innovation in Ceramics Technology" Trento, Italy, July 1-3, 2015 and special session to celebrate Prof. Hueckel's 70th birthday

Webpage: http://events.unitn.it/en/cermodel2015

Deadline for 1 page-abstract submission: February 15, 2015

The Congress aims at gathering together international experts in the field of ceramic science and material modelling with representatives from research institutes and industry in order to enhance the communication between experimental materials research and computational work, to improve efficiency in several steps of the processing procedures and to predict the potential of new advanced materials under specific application conditions and for specific functionalities. Particular emphasis will be given to advanced ceramics employed in emerging sectors also including nanotechnology, bio-engineering and medicine.

During the Congress a special session will be held to celebrate Prof. Tomasz Hueckel's 70th birthday.

A special issue of Journal of European Ceramic Society is planned as the outcome of the CERMODEL2015 congress.
