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.
