SAMPE Europe|SETEC 13: First Announcement & Call for Papers 8th International Technical Conference & Forum 28 10th – 12th September 2013 Wuppertal, Germany Novel Aspects in Composite Technologies: From Fibre to Lightweight Structures SAMPE Europe is pleased to inform you by this First Announcement & Call for Papers for the upcoming SETEC 13 Wuppertal Conference and Tabletop Exhibition on the 10th–12th September 2013. SAMPE Europe SETEC 13 is a rewarding Conference dealing with aspects of advanced composites and applied material science. Today’s fibre reinforced thermoset and thermoplastic matrix composite materials are being studied to improve the sustainability and performance of the in service and future advanced composite materials. New types of fibres and novel elements to enhance performance of matrix-systems are gaining importance. Demonstration of their proof of concept and industrialization is the key to these technologies being realized in structural applications. Under this framework, the theme of SETEC 13 has been defined as: “Novel Aspects in Composite Technologies: from Fibre to Lightweight Structures”. Venue of SETEC 13 SETEC 13 will be held at the Stadthalle of Wuppertal, in Wuppertal, Germany. Wuppertal is located in the Bergische Land between Köln and Düsseldorf to the east of the river Rhine. From Düsseldorf Airport, Wuppertal can easily be reached by rail in about 45 minutes. The 19th century Wuppertal and its partner city Barmen home the first monorail Schwebebahn train in the world, suspended 6 metres above ground. This Schwebebahn has remained till today as the only such type of public transport anywhere in the world. A ride on the Schwebebahn is included as part of the SETEC 13 registration. SETEC 13 Tabletop Exhibition The Tabletop Exhibition of SETEC 13 will consist of 30 tabletop units. The tabletop area will be located next to the conference auditorium and is integrated in the catering area where the Welcome Reception, the coffee breaks and the lunch will be served. Each unit will be equipped with a table (size 1700 x 700 mm), two chairs, and power to allow exhibitors a wonderful position to present their products and services. Hotel Accommodation and Wuppertal The Stadthalle Wuppertal is located in the centre of Wuppertal, set on the Johannisberg Hill, a short walk (12 minutes) from the Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof (main station) Next to the Stadthalle, Hotel ARCADIA Wuppertal has been pre-booked for the conference by SAMPE Europe, and will serve as the conference hotel: € 91.00 (single room) or €127.00 (double room). Additional hotels in the centre of Wuppertal will be added on walking distance to the conference at the Stadthalle. All hotel details will be published in the Preliminary Programme, which will be published by the end of April 2013. The SETEC 13 Conference Dinner will be held at the Brauhalle of Wuppertal, on the evening of the 11th of September. The journey from the Stadthalle to the Brauhalle will be made with a ride on the Schwebebahn – a very unique chance to glide through a centre of a city at a very low altitude. This experience should not be missed! Call for Papers Attendees to SETEC 13 will receive an insight into the current technologies and state-of-the-art realisations of composite materials in engineering applications for different industry segments. The Scientific Committee of SAMPE Europe is composed of experts from leading Research Institutes, Universities and Industry to that will assess the SAMPE Journal, Volume 49, No. 3, May/June 2013
