29 - 30 Sep 2027
7th International Conference on Hybrid Materials and Structures 2027 · Call for papers open
The science of hybrid materials.
The international conference on hybrid and composite materials: combining metals, polymers, ceramics and fibres into components no single material could deliver. Multi-material design, interfaces, joining, lightweight structures. One room. Every angle.

From Experts, for Experts
No single material does everything. By combining metals, polymers, ceramics and fibres, engineers build lighter, stronger structures and reach properties none of them can deliver alone. Hybrid 2027 is the European meeting place where the people who design, make and test these hybrids work through the questions they raise across every engineering discipline.
Pure science
Interfaces, bonding, fracture, and fatigue in hybrid and composite materials - at the atomistic and continuum scales.
Industrial reality
Aerospace structures, automotive lightweight parts, fibre-metal laminates, multi-material joints - what survives, what fails, and why.
Open exchange
Present scientific results, compare methods, and discuss material solutions for hybrid and multi-material engineering challenges.
The Conference Topics
From the mechanics of interfaces and joining to manufacturing, characterisation, and industry deep-dives - the official scope of the Hybrid 2027 program.
From Abstract to Program
Every DGM Conference follows a transparent path from submitted abstracts to a curated scientific program. The review and program work is carried by members of the materials community.
Where Hybrid 2027 Takes Place
Hybrid 2027 is hosted at ECOMAT in Bremen's Airport-Stadt, where research institutes and industry share the laboratories behind lightweight construction and advanced materials. Talks, posters and the exhibition sit under one roof - 16 minutes by tram from Bremen Hauptbahnhof and a short walk from Bremen Airport.

Conference venue
ECOMAT, Center for Eco-efficient Materials & Technologies
Talks, posters and the exhibition share one roof at ECOMAT in Bremen's Airport-Stadt, where industry and science work side by side on lightweight construction, innovative materials and surface technologies - a natural home for a conference on hybrid materials. Tram 6 reaches the venue from Bremen Hauptbahnhof in about 16 minutes, and Bremen Airport is a few minutes away on foot.
