SACAM2025 – call for abstracts
Location: University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg
Date: 21-23 January 2025
SAAM invites you to present your work at SACAM 2025.
The 14th South African Conference on Computational and Applied Mechanics (SACAM2025) will be held at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg from 21 to 23 January 2025. Note that the conference will be held one week earlier than previously announced.
The SACAM and AfriComp conferences are held every second year under the auspices of the South African Association for Computational and Applied Mechanics (SAAM), and the two conferences will be held in alternate years in future. SACAM provides a forum for presenting and discussing the latest developments in applied mechanics. We aim to bring together scientists, engineers and applied mathematicians from academia and industry to encourage scientific exchange of ideas and opportunities in applied mechanics. The conference provides a unique opportunity for postgraduate students to engage with the community, and postgraduate students’ participation is especially welcome.
SACAM2025 will accept full-length paper submissions for peer review, and if accepted, publication in the conference proceedings after the paper is presented at the conference. In addition, recent results can be presented without submitting a full-length paper. Both types of submissions will require the submission and acceptance of an abstract.
Details of abstract submission, including templates, are available on the conference website sacam.co.za.

ICTAM 2024 Feedback
Esteemed Members of SAAM,
As President of the South African Association for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, I am sharing feedback from the recently concluded 26th International Congress of Theoretical & Applied Mechanics (ICTAM 2024) held in Daegu, South Korea, from August 25-30, 2024. This event provided valuable opportunities for our community to engage with global developments in our field.
