TC14: INTEGRITY OF BIOMEDICAL AND BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS 1) Technical Committee 14 "Integrity of Biomedical and Biological Materials" organises a Special Session within the framework of the 8 th International Conference on Material Modelling ICMM8 in London, UK on 15-17 July 2024 . This biennial conference is the eighth in the ICMM series. The first ICMM took place in Dortmund 2009 (Germany). The conference since then was held in Paris (France), Warsaw (Poland), Berkeley (USA), Rome (Italy), Lund (Sweden) and Cape Town (South Africa).

TC15: STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED COMPONENTS In 2023 in collaboration with TC18 ESIAM23 was organized in Porto from 4th to 6th of September. More than 100 participants have joined the events presenting their contributions to the conference in Porto. The social activities of the event were also very successful, giving the possibility to the participants to visit the beauties of Porto. We want to thank immensely the local organizers of the event Prof. Abilio De Jesus and Prof. Luis Reis. The next ESIAM conference will be held in 3 years from now in 2026. More information will be available in due to course. A special symposium dedicated to TC15 will be organized at ECF24 in Zagreb in August 2024 as well as at the next IGF conference in 2025 in September.
