Conference

The 7th International Conference on Thermoplastic Composites covers the latest developments and research insights in high performance thermoplastic composite applications in various fields such as aerospace, automotive and energy applications, as well as transport & engineering.

Tracks & Categories

The conference programme will be divided into thematically fitting sessions, compiled by the international programme committee on the basis of the response to the Call for Abstracts. Usually the ITHEC Conference consists of three main tracks: Aerospace, Automotive and Emerging Technologies.

Framing the conference sessions will be a morning keynote and the conference dinner in the evening as well as a panel discussion on the second day about the special topic: Energy Transition. During the Lunch Breaks attendees will have the opportunity to listen to exhibitor curated industry sessions as well as stroll through the poster area and talk to the authors directly.

We request oral and poster contributions to the 7th International Conference on Thermoplastic Composites from engineers, scientists and other experts from institutes and companies working in the field of high performance thermoplastic composites as well as related manufacturing technologies and applications. Your submission does only need to be a short abstract with a maximum of 250 words. Only after acceptance to the programme or the poster area, a four-page manuscript will be necessary.

For oral presentation (25 mins incl. discussion), preference will be given to contributions expressing a comprehensive view of the chosen subject, e.g.in an achievement, a challenge or needs to be addressed to industry. Please note that detailed theoretical contributions and papers of a very specialized nature are more suitable for the poster area.

Posters

In addition to our conference sessions, abstract submissions can also be accepted as a poster. Especially highly specialized papers, lend themselves to scientific posters.

The poster area will be accessible within the exhibition hall and during part of the lunch breaks, poster presenters will be available at their posters to answer questions.
