Mechanics Meets Energy 2014

In 2014 the Mechanics Meets Energy symposium was held at Hotel Winterberg Resort from January 20th to 23rd. The meeting became international, as besides presentations from the group of Prof. Christina Scheu Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU), we had invited talks from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA (MIT) and Erich Schmidt Institute of Material Science, Leoben, Austria (ESI) as well as from our visiting scientists Prof. Carol Handwerker (Purdue University Lafayette, USA), Dr. Patricia Romano (Tata Steel, The Netherlands) and Prof. Toshiaki Horiuchi (Hokkaido Institute of Technology, Japan).
