The ICCS15 conference provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest research and technology on all aspects of composite structures and materials. Europe is in the forefront of these developments, and with the ICCS back in Europe, and hosted by the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), it is the aim of the conference to promote and endorse composite structures technology to the international community. Previous conferences in this series were held at the Paisley College in Scotland and the Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. All previous conferences were organized by Professor Ian Marshall, the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Composite Structures (ELSEVIER). Professor Marshall is active in ICCS15, as the Scientific Committee Chairman. The conference venue is the campus of Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), which offers excellent facilities for high quality scientific interactions.
