ICSAM 2012 - 11th International Conference on Superplasticity of Advanced Materials (ICSAM 2012)

On behalf of the Organizing Committee and the International Advisory Committee, it is my great pleasure to extend you a cordial invitation to participate in the 11th International Conference on Superplasticity of Advanced Materials (ICSAM 2012) to be held in Albi, FRANCE, July 3-5, 2012. It will be organized by the Institut Clément Ader.
ICSAM 2012 will focus on all aspects of Superplasticy and will include sessions devoted to materials, processes and modelling. ICSAM 2012 will comprise invited lectures by eminent academics, two parallel sessions and a poster session.
The attendees of ICSAM 2012 will have the opportunity to interact with the most outstanding world leaders and get acquainted with the latest developments in the area of Superplastic materials, processes and applications.
Beside the technical program, you will enjoy the historical Episcopal city of Albi, New UNESCO World Heritage Site (http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1337/), his old town, Cathedral and Toulouse Lautrec Museum, and take the opportunity to stay one day more the 6th to join one of the post conference tour.
