The European Society for Composite Materials is a European, non-profit, non-governmental, scientific and engineering association of individuals from all nations in Europe, with established interests and contributions in the field of composite materials, who share the objectives of the ESCM. Any European citizen, is eligible for membership in ESCM and participation in its activities and its decisions.
The aims of ESCM are to
encourage the free interchange of information on all those aspects related to composite materials which of are interest to the scientific and engineering community.
provide a Europe-wide forum for the discussion of such topics, e.g. by organising the ECCM (European Conference on Composite Materials) and more specialised symposia related to composites.
guide and foster the understanding and utilisation of the science and technology of composite materials.
promote European co-operation in the study of topics in composite materials science and technology.
promote liaison with engineering and scientific bodies throughout Europe with similar aims and to serve as a facilitator for communication between such bodies
foster an environment for timely and cost-effective research, development and implementation of advanced technology in composites.
encourage the education of young specialists in the disciplines supporting composite materials science and technology.
recognise individuals of outstanding achievement in the science, technology, engineering, and application of composite materials.
