At this event we will learn about how the automotive and transportation industries are advancing with composites, and the role composites play in the development of electric vehicles and sustainability initiatives worldwide.  Lightweight composites are ideal materials for improving vehicle performance, reducing mass, extending range and compensating for battery weight.  Polymer composites are enabling lower emission vehicles, reducing the carbon footprint and saving energy to benefit the environment now and in the future.  Thermoset and thermoplastic composites are the key to EV, Mobility and Sustainability.  

The presentations are organized into the following categories: Composites in Electric Vehicles; Thermoplastic Composites; Thermoset Composites; Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing; Enabling Technologies; Sustainable Composites; Bonding, Joining & Finishing; Carbon Composites; AI (Artificial Intelligence), ML (Machine Learning) and Data-Driven Solutions; and Design, Modeling and Simulation of Composites. Paper abstracts are requested as soon as possible are due April 25, 2025. Scientific papers are due June 27, 2025. For those who elect to only present a technical work, presentations are due July 25, 2025. Authors who submit scientific papers (not presentations) in the proper format will be considered for the conference’s Best Paper Awards, which are presented during the event’s opening ceremony.  A template for papers can be downloaded from the SPE ACCE website online via http://speautomotive.com/acce-forms. Papers can be submitted at https://whova.com/call_for_speakers/IECO2sW%40tiUSp9VKaEeARWrzIKZoQ-kkOrtdh-DHDyTsAhiWnIUAOs3MhvVmHOdc/.  Inquiries about submitting papers can be sent to intuitgroup@gmail.com.
