Round Table

Adaptive Structures in the 21st Century – A Big Tent: Mid- and Early-Career Researchers Chart Paths Forward (Part I & II).

Smart structures systems have evolved tremendously in the last 45 years, enabled by advances in constituent and integrative science and technology. Every significant advance was made by a talented individual who benefited from collaborations with others offering complementary perspectives. Such interdisciplinary explorations illuminated potential disruptive functionality and exposed issues related to the realisation of complicated systems. All aimed at a goal of societal impact: applications and technologies that improve people’s lives while creating businesses and jobs. The round-table panellists will provide perspectives and guide discussion of future advances and impacts.
