Last call for ITHEC conference abstracts

Interested parties can now submit speaker or poster abstracts for the 7th International Conference on Thermoplastic Composites (ITHEC), taking place in Bremen, Germany, from Oct. 9-10, 2024. Event organizers are seeking oral and poster contributions from engineers, scientists and experts who are actively engaged in the field of high-performance thermoplastic composites and related manufacturing technologies and applications.

Abstracts should be a maximum of 250 words. A submission may also include a PDF file that includes graphs and pictures to illustrate the abstract further.  The deadline for abstracts is March 31, 2024. Any questions can be sent through service@ithec.de.

Selected abstracts will be announced April 30. It should be noted that for oral presentation (25 minutes, including discussion), preference will be given to contributions expressing a comprehensive view of the chosen subject, e.g., in an achievement, a challenge or needs to be addressed to industry. Please note that detailed theoretical contributions and papers of a very specialized nature are more suitable for the poster area.

The ITHEC conference covers the latest developments in high-performance thermoplastic composite applications in aerospace, automotive and energy applications, as well as transport and engineering. The program consists of keynote lectures, a panel discussion as well as multiple sessions curated by the international program committee. In addition, the conference is supplemented by the poster area within the exhibition hall.

“ITHEC is a great place to meet peers passionate about thermoplastic composites and to gain insight into the latest developments,” notes SAM|XL’s Bram Jongbloed, the Best Poster Winner at ITHEC 2022. “During my poster presentation, I was pleased to have in-depth technical discussions with both academia and industry on our welding process. I’m looking forward to the next conference.”
