IUTAM Symposia and Instructional Summer Schools

The aim of any symposium sponsored by IUTAM is to assemble a group of active scientists within a well-defined field for the development of science within that field. The purpose of an IUTAM Instructional Summer School is to provide lectures by leading experts in a new or emerging field of science and engineering in order to foster developments in that field. An overview of the IUTAM Symposia and Summer Schools can be found on IUTAM's website. A calendar of upcoming IUTAM Symposia and Summer Schools can also be found on the IUTAM website.
Proposals from the United States should be submitted through the U.S. National Committee, which competitively screens and forwards them with recommendations for consideration by the IUTAM General Assembly, which meets every two years. Please contact the Secretary of the USNC/TAM for more information on preparing a proposal.
The Covid pandemic precluded the holding of any in-person IUTAM events in 2020 and plans for 2021 are pending.
