Mark your calendars for the upcoming joint conference organized by IGF: IGF28 - MedFract3 (https://www.igf28-medfract3.eu/).
This event combines the 28th International Conference on Fracture and Structural Integrity (IGF28) with the 3rd Mediterranean Conference on Fracture and Structural Integrity (MedFract3).
The conference will be held both in person in the beautiful setting of Aci Castello (Catania, Italy) and remotely. While remote participants will be able to fully engage in all sessions and discussions, they will unfortunately miss the opportunity to savor the delicious cuisine of Sicily!

Four different thematic symposia are organized during the Conference:

  • Defects in additive manufactured materials and their effect on fracture and fatigue performance (Chairs: S. Vantadori, F. Berto);
  • Artificial Intelligence and Physics-based Numerical Methods for Fracture and Fatigue Damaging Processes (Chairs: A. Tridello, E. Salvati)
  • Structural Integrity of Solid-State Welded & Additively Manufactured Metals (Chairs: E. Salvati, S. Bagherifard)
  • Durability of structural joints: experimental, theoretical and numerical approaches (Chairs: A. Califano, G. Cricrì, V. Giannella, R. Sepe)

The main deadlines are:
- Registration: always open
- Abstract Submission: 1.11.2024 to 31.05.2025
- Acceptance notification: 10.06.2025
- Early bird registration and payment: 31.07.2025
- Conference: 15.09.2025 - 18.09.2025
- Paper submission (after the conference): 15.10.2025
- Papers acceptance: 31.10.2025

Please note that 100% of the fees will be allocated to:

  • Event organisation;
  • Summer School organization;
  • Publication of the dedicated Procedia Structural Integrity issue;
  • Publication of the IGF journal Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale;
  • All other IGF activities (e.g., website publication).
