The
University of Bristol and its research partners have announced the launch of
AIComp 2025, the inaugural
Artificial Intelligence for Composite Materials Conference, which is set to take place from 1-3 September in Bristol. It will be the first global conference dedicated to exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the development and application of composite materials. This landmark event will unite leading researchers, industry pioneers, and policy influencers to advance AI-driven innovation in composite materials’ design, manufacturing, and performance.
As industries increasingly embrace AI to enhance efficiency and drive innovation, the composites sector stands to benefit immensely.
AIComp 2025 offers a unique platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and networking, bringing together the brightest minds from academia and industry to tackle pressing challenges and unlock new opportunities.
Key topics include: AI-driven design and optimisation; process modelling and simulation; manufacturing control and optimisation; non-destructive evaluation (NDE); damage and failure prediction; and advanced structural modelling.
Bristol has been chosen as the host city for
AIComp 2025 due to its reputation as a hub for composites and AI research. The conference is organised by the Bristol Composites Institute and is supported by the National Composites Centre (NCC). The event will also highlight the role of the Isambard-AI supercomputer, the UK's fastest and most sustainable AI supercomputer, in accelerating AI research in materials science.
Impressive line-up of industry speakersAIComp 2025 will feature an impressive line-up of industry speakers, including: Dr Navid Zobeiry, associate professor at the University of Washington, and an expert in AI-driven material science and aerospace composites; Professor Adam Sobey, programme director for data-centric engineering at The Alan Turing Institute and professor of data-centric engineering in the Maritime Engineering Group at the University of Southampton, a specialistin AI for maritime and aerospace applications; Dr Pierre-Yves Méchin, senior R&D manager at Dassault Systèmes, advancing AI for composites manufacturing and digital twins; and Professor Stéphane Bordas, professor in computational mechanics at the University of Luxembourg, and a leading expert in computational mechanics and AI-driven modelling.
Researchers, engineers, and industry professionals are invited to submit their abstracts for presentation at
AIComp 2025. The submission deadline is 1 April. Selected papers will shape the future discourse on AI-driven composites research and application.
Early bird registration opens soon, with discounted rates available until 15 June.
AIComp 2025 welcomes industry sponsors and exhibitors looking to showcase their AI and composite innovations to a global audience.
AIComp 2025 is set to be a gamechanger for the composites and AI industries.
