ISPMA 15 – 15th International Symposium on Physics of Materials
The Department of Physics of Materials, Charles University, Prague, has been regularly organising International Symposia on Physics of Materials (ISPMA). The series started in 1972 under title International Symposium on Plasticity of Metals and Alloys. Since 1990, the Symposia take place every three years in Prague. The next Symposium ISPMA 15 will focus on fundamental and applied aspects of physics of alloys, intermetallics, non-metallic materials, composites, submicrocrystalline and nanocrystalline materials, and materials science.
The Symposium will be held at the Faculty Conference Centre “Profesní dům” (historical building of the former Jesuit College) close to the baroque St. Nicholas Cathedral in Malá Strana Square, at the foot of the Prague Castle.
