The workshop on Micromechanical properties of Hard Materials will be held on June 27th to 29th 2018 in Barcelona (Spain). This European workshop will cover all the scientific aspects concerning micromechanical properties of hard materials (heterogeneous composite materials, coatings, etc.). The meeting will promote particularly collaboration between Young researchers and will support initiatives of networking and European projects. This workshop is open to all the international scientists working on micromechanical properties as well as companies involved in this research field.
