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 advances in composite materials, biocomposites, nanocomposites and next-generation material technologies.

Addressing key priorities in research and innovation, Composites 2027 will focus on translating scientific advances into practical, scalable and sustainable solutions. The conference will explore sustainable-by-design materials, circularity, advanced manufacturing, digitalisation, resource efficiency and industrial uptake, with a strong emphasis on connecting research and technological innovation with real-world applications.

Conference Topics / Themes

The scientific programme will cover the following main sessions:

• Sustainable-by-Design Composites & Safe and Sustainable Materials
• Circular Composites, Recycling & End-of-Life Solutions
• Biocomposites, Renewable Feedstocks & Natural Fibre Reinforcements
• Advanced Composite Materials, Nanocomposites & Multifunctional Systems
• Advanced Manufacturing, Process Innovation & Industrial Scale-Up
• Digitalisation, AI & Data-Driven Composite Innovation
• Durability, Repair, Monitoring & Life-Cycle Performance
• High-Value Applications & Cross-Sector Innovation
• Standards, Certification, Competitiveness & Market Uptake

Across these sessions, the conference will address material design and optimisation, innovative reinforcement systems, resource-efficient processing, recycling and recovery technologies, digital modelling, durability, performance validation and industrial demonstration. Particular attention will be given to life-cycle sustainability, reduced dependence on critical raw materials, and pathways from research and development to industrial implementation.

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 focused sessions and establish new collaborations
