The ESAFORM 2013 International Conference on Material Forming

Dear Colleagues,

Following the last successful events in the past years, the next ESAFORM
Conference on Material Forming (ESAFORM 2013) will represent the 16th
edition of one of the most important and well-established international
research meetings on the material forming field. The conference will be held
at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, from 22 to 24 of April, 2013.

Promoted by ESAFORM - The European Scientific Association for Material
Forming, the conference will cover a multitude of disciplines related to
material forming processes and materials, including metals, polymers,
ceramics, composites and biomaterials. Topics related to forming processes,
either conventional or innovative, are of relevant interest, and studies
comprising theoretical analyses, experimental testing and numerical
simulations are very welcomed.

The official website of the event is already available at:

and you are invited to have a look at it, as new information is constantly
being provided. Please keep in your calendar the first deadline (October
