COHMAS Lab to host composite materials workshop
The composites industry and engineering workshop will be held at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in March 2020.
COHMAS Laboratory at KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology; Thuwal, Saudi Arabia) has announced that it will host a composite science and engineering workshop to take place March 16-18, 2020.
Find out more information on the workshop website.
Topics include:
- addressing the needs for Composite Industry 4.0,
- imagining new applications in energy and transportation sectors,
- improving composites through big data and artificial intelligence,
- inventing new concepts for composite assemblies and large structures, and
- building the composites industry.
Workshop organizers say the workshop will provide opportunities for participants from academia, industry and governments to exchange ideas, discuss the current state of research and develop strategies for composites industry growth.
The workshop is organized around presentations, as well as round table discussions and poster sessions. The current list of speakers includes university professors from various countries and representatives from SABIC (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), the National Composites Centre (Bristol, U.K.) and more. See the updated list of speakers on the conference website.
