20/05/13: Symposium on Cutting Edge of Computer Simulation of Solidification, Casting and Refining

Fri, 15 Feb 2013 08:40:33 +0000

The 3rd International Symposium on Cutting Edge of Computer Simulation of Solidification, Casting and Refining (CSSCR2013) is held May 20-23, 2013 at Aalto University and KTH (Sweden). The focus topics include i.a. improvement of casting process modelling and phase field methods.

The symposium starts with a conference day at Hanasaari, followed by a Baltic Sea cruise to Stockholm. At Lejondals Slott, the conference continues with two conference days and an optional post-symposium excursion (chargeable).

The conference registration and abstract submission are now open and will close on March 15, 2013.
