The 8th GACM Colloquium on Computational Mechanics for Young scientists from academia and industry will be organized on August 28 - 30, 2019 in the documenta City Kassel, Germany. The colloquium is hosted by the Institute of Structural Mechanics and the Institute of Mechanics of the University of Kassel.

The GACM Colloquium on Computational Mechanics intends to bring together Young scientists who are engaged in academic and industrial research on computational mechanics and computer methods in applied sciences. It provides a platform to present and discuss recent results from research efforts and industrial applications. Thematically arranged sessions and organized mini-symposia as well as social events will provide an environment for lively discussions in an informal atmosphere. The contributions from young researchers will be supplemented by plenary lectures from three senior scientist from academia and industry as well as from the GACM Best PhD Award winners 2017 and 2018.
