XIII World Congress Computational Mechanics 7/22/18 - 7/27/18

XIII World Congress Computational Mechanics 7/22/18 - 7/27/18The 13th World Congress in Computational Mechanics (WCCM) will be held at the New York Marriott Marquis, New York City from July 22nd ??? July 27, 2018. The Congress is expected to be one of the largest gatherings of research scientists in New York City, with an expected participation of above 5,000 coming from all parts of the globe and representing multiple sectors, including academia, government and industry.The main objective is to bring together the diverse communities that are active in computational science and engineering and to promote interactions between federal agencies, academia and industry. A concentrated effort will be made to attract new participants from consulting engineering firms and from key computer and software companies, while retaining the Congress's core constituency of scientists from academia and government laboratories. It isplanned that the requested funding will support the participation of young researchers, especially graduate students, offering them a unique opportunity to disseminate their research results.Special emphasis will be placed on promoting diversity and openness as well as broadening impact through education and outreach activities organized during the WCCM conference. In particular, the requested funding will provide much needed support in encouraging the participation of a wider interested community of minorities and underrepresented groups that might otherwise not be able to take advantages of the opportunities offered by WCCM.
