UD-CCM to host 24th International Conference on Composite Materials

The University of Delaware Center for Composite Materials (UD-CCM, Newark, Del., U.S.) announces that it is hosting the International Conference on Composite Materials (ICCM24). The conference will be held at The Baltimore Convention Center next to the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland, and will take place Aug. 4-8, 2025. The last time this international conference was hosted in the U.S. was in 2002 in San Diego, California.

ICCM24 will feature a dedicated industry track, international networking opportunities and will be a forum for the presentation, exchange and discussion of the latest research on composite materials and their applications through a series of panel sessions. During the 5-day conference, attendees will be invited to a welcome reception, a conference banquet and a variety of poster sessions, presentations and keynotes. UD-CCM expects delegates from 50-60 countries to be in attendance.
