Technical program
ConMat05 will strive to create an environment of mutual cooperation between experts in
Materials and Structures and provide a forum for active dialogue. The Organizers believe that it is
only through such a multi-disciplinary approach that significant cross-fertilization of ideas can
occur and innovative solutions to our infrastructural inadequacies can be found. Come and be a
part of this unique experience.
