This Action will tackle the scientific challenges in the different stages of the life-cycle of a bonded structure through the synergy of multi-disciplinary fields and knowledge transfer.
Bonded structures deal with very distinct fields, such as materials science, surface science, physics and structural mechanics. Nevertheless, in order to achieve industrial progress, an interdisciplinary approach has to be adopted in order to address the challenges of this topic. CertBond Cost action brings together experts in those different fields aiming to enable the implementation of composite bonded joints in primary structures.

(1) Our COST Action will financially support a limited number of action participants based on their abstract submitted to the special session CERTBOND. The support will consist of travelling and accommodation reimbursement for the special session CERTBOND and will not include the conference fees. In case there is more participants than the number of reimbursements the budget allows, a selection process will be performed based on COST policies. Please note that for these two conferences, COST cannot award ITC CG.
(2) ITC CG –Greece has been added to the new list of ITC (for the update list of ITC: https://www.cost.eu/uploads/2021/10/Annex-I-level-A-Country-and-Organisations-Table-REVISION.pdf)
