27th International Conference on Nonlinear Elasticity in Materials

The annual International Conference on Nonlinear Elasticity in Materials (ICNEM) promotes the understanding of the elastic nonlinear behavior of solids and soft matter. The conference focuses on both basic research and applications and represents the state of the art in this domain.

Location
The conference will be held in the city of Neustadt an der Weinstraße about 100 km from Frankfurt am Main in Germany. The Kloster Neustadt venue is a monastery with a conference hotel in a German wine-growing region. It is located about 25 min by foot from the city center, giving the opportunity to create an atmosphere with plenty of room for informal exchange during breaks, walks and in the evenings.

Accommodation
Participants will be accommodated in the conference hotel. Conference fees include accommodation and full board from Sunday dinner on July 13 until after lunch on July 18th 2025. Registration fees will be around 800€.

Travel Information
Travel from within Europe is best done by train to the train station Neustadt (Weinstrasse) Hbf. Travel times are 3.5h from Paris, 6.5h from Berlin, 8h from London, 10h from Prague. Very useful information on international train travel is provided by The Man in Seat 61. If you have to use air transportation, fly to Frankfurt am Main Airport and take a train to Neustadt (Weinstrasse) Hbf. We will provide transportation between Neustadt (Weinstrasse) Hbf train station to the venue on the days of arrival and departure.
