COVID update
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
The number of people infected by the coronavirus in Europe and all over the world is still rising at a very quick and worrying rate. I deeply hope you and your families are healthy and well.
The Organizing Committee of the 19th ICEM with agreement of the EuraSEM Council Members regret to announce that, due to the high risks associated with the ongoing global COVID-19 situation, it has been decided to postpone the 19th International Conference on Experimental Mechanics (scheduled on July from 5th to 9th, 2020; firstly postponed from 4th - 8th July 2021) until 17- 21 July 2022.
The main concern of the Organizing Committee is the health and safety of all conference participants and society members and we all are convinced that it is our responsibility to help prevent the spread of the virus.
Let me to apologize for any inconvenience this decision may cause, but I do believe this is the best solution to protect realization of the conference objectives and, more importantly, to assure the possibly safe health conditions of our Experimental Mechanics Community. I would like to convince you that the health and safety of all of you constitute the top priority for the Conference Organizers.
Since we are planning to organize the 19th ICEM next year in the same place as it was planned initially, the Organizing Committee has decided to keep the conference fee in the already paid amount without any increase due to possible inflation.
If a Participant would like to get refund we will arrange it with a deduction of 50 Euros. The deduction of 50 Euros is necessary due to the costs that have been already covered by the Organizers. Please do understand our position at this difficult moment. However, we do encourage all of you to leave your already paid conference fee for the 19th ICEM.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee I would like to express my sincere thanks to all participants and sponsors for their continuous support. The majority of them have already expressed their ongoing commitment and cooperation for the 19th ICEM in July 2022.
Now, the most important aim of the Organizing Committee is to work together to make the 19th ICEM in Krakow, July 17 - 21, 2022, a big success of the whole Experimental Mechanics Community.
Registration to the 19th ICEM and abstract submission remain open on www.icem19.org.
Thank you very much for your understanding and I am looking forward to meet all of you in Krakow next year.
With my best regards,
Zbigniew L. Kowalewski

International Conferences on Experimental Mechanics have a long tradition (1959 Delft, 1962 Paris, 1966 Berlin, 1970 Cambridge, 1974 Udine, 1978 Munich, 1982 Haifa, 1986 Amsterdam, 1990 Copenhagen, 1994 Lisbon, 1998 Oxford, 2004 Bari, 2007 Aleksandropoulis, 2010 Poiters, 2012 Porto, 2014 Cambridge, 2016 Rhodes, 2018 Brussels). The Conferences are organizing under the auspices of the European Society for Experimental Mechanics (EuraSEM).
ICEM brings together internationally recognized experts and young researchers in an effort to exchange ideas in different topics having the common link „Experimental Mechanics“. ICEM acts also as a platform for establishing connections between different research teams that are trying to build and develop future scientific collaboration.
ICEM19, the nineteenth International Conference on Experimental Mechanics will be held on July 17-21, 2022 in Kraków, for the first time in Poland. The Conference will be focused on experimental and measuring techniques for thorough study of the mechanical properties of different materials, engineering structures and systems which are necessary to create the physical bases and provide verification of analytical or numerical methods in engineering design.
Besides of the scientific program, it will be an opportunity to explore and discover the city of Kraków, the former capital of Poland. Kraków is one of the most beautiful Polish cities with a tradition dating back over 1000 years. Everyone who was at least once in this city will not forget the impression left by the local atmosphere of the old castle walls, the Wawel hill with the dragon's cave, stretching just above the lazily flowing Vistula River, a charming Sukiennice market with a beautiful St. Mary's Church and plenty of greenery. It is difficult to talk about the monuments of Kraków, because almost the whole city is one big monument, worth admiring during walks.
