Upcoming events
SACAM is a premier international conference on Computational and Applied Mechanics on the African Continent that attracts both local and international participants. SACAM is held every two years under the auspices of the South African Association for Applied Mechanics (SAAM) as a forum for presenting current developments in computational and applied mechanics. The main function of SACAM is to bring together engineers, scientists and applied mathematicians from academia, research institutions and industry to encourage scientific engagement and exchange of ideas in applied and computational mechanics. Participation of post graduate students is encouraged.

The African Conference on Computational Mechanics (AfriComp) is a conference series with the main objective of providing a forum for researchers and students in computational mechanics on the African continent to interact with members of the computational mechanics community from around the world. In this way the conference series is seen as a key initiative aimed at promoting computational mechanics in Africa. Technical papers are invited on topics from any area of computational mechanics.
The Call for Abstract & Minisymposium Proposal Submissions is now open!
Past events
During the past decades, computational mechanics has become a field of central scientific importance, spanning all fields of science. This conference series is dedicated to bringing together delegates from across the globe to promote computational and applied mechanics on the African continent and worldwide.

7th International Conference on Material Modelling
Location: Cape Town, South Africa
Date: 29 November-2 December 2022
The 7th International Conference on Material Modelling will be held in Cape Town, South Africa, arguably the most beautiful city on the planet. This biannual conference is the seventh in the successful ICMM series. The first ICMM took place in 2009 in Dortmund, Germany. The conference has since then been organized in Paris, Warsaw, Berkeley, Rome, and Lund in Sweden. Held for the first time in the Southern Hemisphere, ICMM7 will bring together researchers from around the world, who are involved in the various fields of material modelling and material characterization.
