Materials for future applications At the core of the MPA seminar’s attention lies the pivotal role of materials, where they confront a host of complex challenges. While steel in various forms as austenitic or martensitic continues to play a crucial role, evolving applications necessitate the use of other materials like nickel-based alloys, titanium and high-strength aluminum. Moreover, the introduction of innovative manufacturing processes enables the design and manufacturing of more complex structures and components and the utilization of a broader spectrum of materials. Nevertheless, the surging costs associated with increasingly precious alloying elements present formidable obstacles. Further challenges include but are not limited to highly flexible load cycles, material behaviour under harsh environments like extremely high and low temperatures as the bevhavior under the influence of media, especially biogas and hydrogen. The performance of materials dominates the performance of the end product, emphasizing the need for efficient resource utilization in their application.

EUSIPCO is the premier European conference on signal processing. The 32nd edition will be held in Lyon, at the Lyon Convention Center, located close to the downtown area, the historic district and the train station. The EUSIPCO 2024 edition will have a specific flavour, with a focus on interdisciplinary research in signal and image processing, geared toward major societal challenges.

ICRT2024 is devoted to provide an international forum for scientists, researchers, and engineers around the world to exchange the knowledge, ideas and experiences in rail transportation planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance. The Second International Conference on Rail Transportation (ICRT2021) was a meaningful innovation. Nearly 300 participants attended the conference on site and almost 10,000 scholars participated in the keynote lectures through the online platform. The participants shared and discussed their latest research results and gained new ideas and methods of rail transportation development. Moreover, the introduction of innovative manufacturing processes enables the design and manufacturing of more complex structures and components and the utilization of a broader spectrum of materials.

In Europe, we have a small but vibrant community of researchers working on the theory and practical use of elastic waveguides for material characterization, nondestructive testing, structural health monitoring and sensors. This workshop aims to provide a platform where these groups with diverse interests can meet and exchange ideas. Current advances in the field will be presented in the form of talks and posters. The goal is not only to exchange but also to interconnect, creating opportunities for valuable collaborations. The event is organized by the »Institut Langevin“ and the „Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM)«. It is supported by the »Société Française d’Acoustique (SFA)« and the »Deutsche Gesellschaft für Akustik e.V. (DEGA)«.

2024 Fraunhofer USA Innovations in Production Technology and Advanced Metrology Seminar Industry 4.0 (I4.0) or the fourth Industrial Revolution is changing manufacturing operations everywhere with significant impacts and innovations for the manufacturing industry. New methods in production technologies and advanced control systems are especially transformative, reshaping business operations and competitive dynamics in the market. To address these transformations, Fraunhofer USA is hosting a Innovations in Production Technology and Advanced Metrology Seminar. With a focus on technology transfer, attendees will have the opportunity to discuss with experts in the field best practices and latest developments for their operations. The event will feature speakers from Industry, Michigan State University and Fraunhofer experts in production technology and metrology, providing valuable insights and deep dives for participants.

A date that is firmly fixed in the calendar of the NDT community is the DGZfP annual conference, traditionally held in May, to which we would like to cordially invite you already today. After the annual conference planned in Osnabrück in 2021 could unfortunately only take place virtually, we are all the more pleased to be able to be guests in the city of peace from May 6 to 8, 2024.

Hanover - UNESCO City of Music, City of Choirs and Sound - in the year of the 50th DAGA, Hanover in the heart of Germany is hosting the event for the second time: you are cordially invited to DAGA 2024. With its historic conference rooms and "Future Meeting Spaces", the Hannover Congress Center (HCC) offers a special setting for scientific presentations, encounters, professional exchange and creative interaction for this DAGA.
