Composites 2027 – From Innovation to Impact
We are pleased to announce the 5th edition of Composites 2027 – From Innovation to Impact, taking place on 12–14 May 2027 in Rome, Italy. This international conference will bring together researchers, scientists, engineers and industry professionals to explore the latest advances in composite materials, biocomposites, nanocomposites and next-generation material technologies.
Composites 2027 will provide a multidisciplinary platform for discussing scientific breakthroughs, emerging technologies and innovative solutions across the broad field of composite materials. The conference will address advances in material design and development, innovative reinforcement systems, manufacturing and processing technologies, material characterisation, mechanical performance, durability and industrial applications. It will also explore the growing role of sustainability, circular economy principles, digitalisation, artificial intelligence and advanced modelling in shaping the future of composite materials.
Conference Topics / Themes
The scientific programme will cover the following six main topics:
Across these themes, the conference will address both fundamental and applied research, including innovative material formulations, advanced reinforcement systems, multifunctional composites, emerging manufacturing processes, material characterisation, computational modelling, performance optimisation and new industrial applications. Particular attention will be given to technological developments that enhance material performance, improve resource efficiency, extend service life, support sustainable material solutions and accelerate the transfer of research outcomes into industrial practice.
Composites 2027 will provide an international platform for presenting research breakthroughs, sharing technological developments and strengthening collaboration between academia, research organisations and industry. The programme will feature plenary and keynote presentations, oral and poster sessions, as well as opportunities for EU-funded research projects and industrial partners to showcase their achievements, organise dedicated workshops and focused sessions, and establish new research and industrial collaborations.
Composites 2027 will take place alongside Polymers 2027: Sustainable Polymers, Biopolymers and Circular Materials and 3BM MaterialsTech 2027: Bioresources, Biobased Materials and Bio-circularity. Together, these conferences will foster interdisciplinary exchange across complementary areas of materials science, advanced materials, sustainable technologies and industrial innovation, creating opportunities for new partnerships and cross-sector collaboration.
We warmly invite the international composites community to contribute to Composites 2027 – From Innovation to Impact and join us in Rome to exchange knowledge, present innovative research, establish new collaborations and help advance the next generation of composite materials and technologies.
