conference, 14 of which were organized by ESIS Technical Committees. 195 full papers are selected after a peer review process to be published in this volume, following the tradition of previous ESIS conferences. The ESIS Summer School “Fatigue and Fracture Modelling and Analysis” was organized prior to the conference on August 24 and 25, 2024. The Summer School provided scientists, researchers and engineers from academia and industry with the opportunity to hear from the renowned speakers about fundamental aspects of fracture mechanics, multiaxial fatigue of metallic alloys, advanced approaches such as multiscale materials modelling and local approaches for fatigue design. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all participants of the ECF24 conference for their contributions and the many high-quality papers. Many thanks to the organizers of the Thematic Symposia who helped to structure ECF24 as an efficient and smooth-running event. We would like to thank ESIS ExCo members, all colleagues and everyone who was involved in the organization of the ECF24 conference for their great effort, support and commitment.
