ECCOMAS - ECCOMAS 2006 Conferences
Overview
Background & policy context:
ECCOMAS is an organisation grouping European Associations with interests in the development and applications of computational methods in science and technology.
ECCOMAS was created in 1993 with the aim of fostering basic and applied research and dissemination of activities in Europe in the field of Computational Methods in Applied Sciences.
ECCOMAS Council is formed by official representatives of National or Regional Scientific Societies or Organisations covering most of the European countries. Its main mission is to favour the exchange of information, and to promote the transfer between Research and Industry at the European scale. Its fields of interest are the applications of Mathematical and Computational Methods and Modelling to major areas such as Fluid Dynamics, Structural Mechanics, Semi-conductor Modelling or Electro-magnetics. Multidisciplinary applications of these fields to critical societal and technological problems encountered in sectors like Aerospace, Car and Ship Industry, Electronics, Energy, Finance, Chemistry, Medicine, Biosciences, Environmental sciences are of particular interest.
The main event organised by ECCOMAS is a large European conference which takes place every four years and addresses scientists and engineers both in and outside Europe. The main objective of these conferences is to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of state-of-the-art in scientific computing applied to engineering sciences. Equal emphasis is given to basic methodologies, scientific development and industrial applications.
Objectives:
The project goal was to provide support to ECCOMAS 2006 Conferences:
- ECCOMAS ECCM Conference in Lisbon, Portugal;
ECCM-2006 was a continuation of the very successful Conferences held in Munich, Germany (1999) and Cracow, Poland (2001) and it was organized by the European Committee of Computational Solid and Structural Mechanics (ECCSM) of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Science (ECCOMAS) in collaboration with the Portuguese Association of Theoretical, Applied and Computational Mechanics (APTMTAC), the Technical University of Lisbon and the National Laboratory of Civil Engineering.
- ECCOMAS CFD Conference in Egmond aan Zee, Netherlands;
The goal of the ECCOMAS CFD conferences was to bring together researchers, industrialists and students working in the fields of the science of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The fields of interest were the applications of mathematical and computational methods and the modelling of different areas: CFD, computational acoustics, computational magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), computational mathematics and numerical methods, optimization and control, computational methods in life sciences and industrial applications.
Methodology:
The work under this support action included all activities required such events to be organized and conducted: establishment of organizing committee and management bodies, conference websites launch, registrations – incl. on-line registration, call for papers, lecturers invitations, materials (papers, flyers, books, etc.) publishing and distribution, plenary sessions, workshops and symposiums organization, contribution for participation fees for early stage researchers; support for participation of Eastern European scientists, etc.
