ICAST2019 is the 30th event of the series of highly successful international conferences in the field of smart materials and adaptive structures and systems. The ICAST has the tradition to be hosted annually by different institutions in the continents of America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The ICAST2019 will be co-hosted by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and Concordia University.

ICAST2019 aims at promoting research, development and applications of adaptive structures and technologies through exchange of scientific results and insights from leading scholars and specialists. The conference will serve as an international forum for promoting exchanges/discussions on recent advances in the multidisciplinary field of smart materials and structures. The conference will particularly emphasize transformations of innovative scientific realizations in smart materials and structures to engineering applications. ICAST2019 will adhere to the tradition of a single focused session for effective information sharing and discussions among experts from the international community of smart materials and structures.

We cordially invite you to ICAST2019 together with all the members of the Local Organizing Committee and International Scientific Committee. We look forward to meeting you in Montreal!
