Remember the date! "Advancing with composites 2008", the ninth edition of the international conference of composites materials. The purpose of this conference is to encourage active partecipation and exchange of scientific and technical information on applications and technologies of composite materials.

The conference represents also a favourable occasion to establish new contacts with people who are interested in the commercial applications of composite materials in different sectors.
Key word of these works is innovation, in the applications and technologies. This in synthesis, is the philosophy of the seminar, that will be moderated by Professor Ignazio Crivelli Visconti, from 1975  Professor of Mechanical Technology at the University of Naples and author of more than 200 works and scientific texts on technologies and advanced materials. It is his merit to have produced numerous cultural, scientific and industrial activities designed for strategic applications development and knowledge of these materials and of their advanced technologies.
