Initialement prévue du 13 au 18 juin 2021 

General information

This conference will focus on the latest interdisciplinary research in the field of fracture and is a must attend event for senior and young researchers, students, post-doctoral fellows, and industry professionals working in the field of fracture throughout the world.

Authors will have the option to submit short papers to be included in the proceedings of the conference or full papers for publication in special issues of one of several established journals in the field by special arrangements.
