The ENIEF/MECOM series of conferences, sponsored by the Argentine Association of Computational Mechanics, are annual meetings aimed at disseminating scientific and technological information on computational methods in engineering. In addition, they seek to encourage scientific and professional exchange regarding the use of numerical methods and computational techniques in both research and transfer to the industrial sector.

On this occasion, the first joint conference between Argentina and Uruguay is taking place. It is worth noting that this instance arises as a result of a previous collaboration between computational mechanics researchers from both countries, who have participated in courses and research projects, as well as academic stays in different centers in both nations. This has allowed for a fruitful exchange of resources and knowledge, which in turn has favored the development and advancement of research in the region.

The formation of a scientific community in Argentina and Uruguay in the field of computational mechanics is a noteworthy fact, as it has allowed for greater information exchange and the carrying out of joint activities that have benefited both countries. Therefore, this conference will seek to.
