/ Welcome to the ICCS16

Welcome to the web site of 16th International Conference on Composite Structures (ICCS16). Over the last decades the science and technology of composite structures and materials has gained an impressive momentum, and the use of composite structures and materials in a variety of products covering the range from sporting goods to satellites is on the increase.

The ICCS16 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.

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. FEUP is located in the town of Porto in the Northern region of Portugal. Porto is a beautiful and lively city, steeped in history and rich in great experiences. With its magnificent location by the Atlantic coast, Porto is the city of the world famous Port Wine and the River Douro.
