In 2005 the GACM Colloquia for Young Scientists on Computational Mechanics were introduced. The main objectives of these colloquia are to provide a forum for young researchers in the field of Computational Mechanics to present their latest research results and to exchange ideas and network among each others. The Colloquium is organized mainly by young scientists and it is intended mainly for young scientists to participate, which is expressed by the motto “from young people, for young people”.
The first two Colloquia took place in Bochum (2005) and in Munich (2007). Both Colloquia were a full success as the strongly increasing number of participants shows. The third Colloquium for Young Scientists on Computational Mechanics will take place at the Leibniz Universität Hannover on 21 – 23 September 2009.
