Welcome


The 31st International Conference on Adaptive Structures and Technologies (ICAST 2021) will be held on October 5-8, 2021 as a virtual conference.

ICAST Conferences are looking back to a long series of successful events. In fact, the first ICAST conference was held as a joint USA-Japan conference in Maui (USA) in 1990. Since then, year after year the conference has evolved, rapidly becoming one of the most significant international conferences in the highly multidisciplinary field of smart materials, adaptive structural systems and related applications.

Hosted by ETH Zurich, the 2021 edition of the International Conference on Adaptive Structures and Technologies will combine a high-level scientific content with a personal atmosphere, achieved in particular through its single-session structure.

Programme
