The International Conference on Material Modeling—now in its ninth edition—comes to Prague. You’re welcome here: we cover a broad range of topics across theory, simulation, experiments, applications, and data‑driven approaches. The conference will take place on the Dejvice campus of the Czech Technical University in Prague, conveniently connected to the airport and about ten minutes by metro from the city centre.

About the Conference
Material modeling has become a field of high scientific importance in recent decades. Although many conferences focus on specific materials or applications, the ICMM conference series is dedicated to material modeling in all its facets. The aim is to bring together researchers from material modeling and material characterization so that the full breadth of the discipline is represented.
The modest size of ICMM9 encourages discussion and exchange between scientists who might not meet at larger events. Contributions from both theoretical and experimental perspectives are welcome.
The biennial ICMM conferences started with Dortmund (2009) and have since been held in Paris, Warsaw, Berkeley, Rome, Lund, Cape Town, and London. Prague now hosts the ninth edition.
