The 16th annual ESAFORM Conference on Material Forming will cover a multitude 
of disciplines related to material forming. These materials include metals, 
polymers, ceramics and composites. Other materials, for example, biomaterials 
are also of conference interest. All traditional and new forming processes are 
relevant. It is expected that a variety of techniques including theoretical 
analyses, experimental testing and numerical simulations will be used. A good 
combination of fundamental approaches and applied science would be 
particularly welcomed. This conference will be organised around a series of 
mini-symposia.

Aveiro dates back at least to the 10th century when it was known by its first 
Latin name of Aviarium, literally, "a gathering place or preserve of birds." 
The Moors invaded and then held it until the 11th century, after which it 
became popular with Portuguese royalty. In the winter of 1575, a terrible 
storm closed the entrance to its port, ending a thriving trade in metals and 
tiles. The same storm also created a reef barrier at the Atlantic Ocean.

Aveiro University is a nationally and internationally prestigiously regarded 
Portuguese new generation public university, with its headquarters located in 
Aveiro since its 1973 creation. It also provides polytechnic education in 
three distinct additional poles. Administratively, the teaching and research 
activities are distributed by Departments and Autonomous Sections, both with 
specialized faculty, that may cooperate in any type of activity.

The University has more than 12,500 students distributed across 58 graduation 
courses, over 40 MSc courses and 25 PhD programs. Its main Campus occupies a 
majestic area located near the centre of Aveiro, including a near-by 
Administration and Accounting Institute of the Aveiro University, and also 
having external regional poles in Águeda, Higher Education Technological and 
Management School of Águeda, and Oliveira de Azeméis, Higher Education School 
of North Aveiro. It is a leading R&D university, having a large number of 
active research units developing programmes targeted at both the international 
business community and the significant national industry, in fields as 
fundamental or applied physics, chemistry, telecommunications, robotics, 
bioinformatics, sea sciences, materials, design, administration and industrial 
engineering. Its technological influence allows the preparation of top 
researchers and best in business qualified human resources for start-ups or 
established companies as Portugal Telecom, EFACEC, Nokia Siemens Networks, 
Cisco Systems, Alcatel, Ericsson, Vodafone, BOSCH or NEC.
