and fatigue, and to Jianying He for nanostructured materials and nanotechnology, and to Francesco Iacoviello for continuous support of DIVK activities. The Best Young Scientist Award was delivered to Sheng-wen Tu, and the best poster award Kwang-Bok Shin. In 9 thematic sessions, all important aspects of fracture mechanics and structural integrity were discussed, with an emphasis on innovation and new trends, artificial intelligence, a multidisciplinary approach, as well as case studies, like risk and safety analysis, taking into account environmental impacts, behavioural materials, their characterization and specificity of constructions. The quality of the plenary lectures, as well as the lecturers on both working days of the meeting, contributed to the opening of some new topics and an insight into new trends in the assessment of the integrity of structures - which was also the basic idea of this meeting. The e-version of book of abstracts is available on the website https://www.divk12.com/divk12/publications, while the call for papers in the special issue of the journal Procedia Structural Integrity is open until 25.12024. Selected authors will be sent call for special issues of Engineering Fracture Mechanics and Structural Integrity and Life.
