The 2012 International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics

Once every four years, the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) holds a Congress, the International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ICTAM). 

The 2012 ICTAM will be held in Beijing, China.   Perhaps it is fitting that this Olympics of Mechanics will take place in the China National Convention Center, located in the heart of the Olympic Green, adjacent to the National Stadium (Bird’s Nest) and the National Aquatics Center (Water Cube).

Beijing has a large number of historical sites, many of which are older than the Olympic Green.  For example, you might wish to visit the Great Wall. 

Mark your calendar:   

• 9 January 2012, deadline to submit abstract and extended summary.
• 19-24 August 2012, ICTAM, Beijing.
