Dear colleagues and friends,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 29th International Conference on Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology (SMiRT29), to be held in the beautiful city of Lyon, France, in August 2027.
SMiRT conferences are the premier international forum to discuss new developments in structural mechanics in reactor technology, as they apply to nuclear fission, fusion or any emerging new reactor designs and technologies. It is a unique platform that brings together participants from academia, industry, and research institutions worldwide to share knowledge, challenge ideas, and foster collaboration.
SMiRT29 aims to build on the rich legacy while introducing new ideas.
In particular, we propose a novel matrix format for organization of conference contributions in divisions, to allow for a more streamlined and smooth organization of technical sessions and presentations. We will also propose new ideas for the early career program, designed to support the next generation of engineers and scientists entering the field.
More details on the program, abstract and paper submission deadlines and registration will be announced in the coming months.
On behalf of the French organizing team I invite you to join us in Lyon and connect with SMiRT community to help shape the future of reactor technology. Your input is what makes SMiRT29 a success.
