The biennial ICSI conferences, at the end of summer, were planned to be a referential source of inspiration for the researchers in the field that want to keep updated on the latest developments from reference researchers around the globe. The conference has seen an unprecedented growth in volume and quality and we welcome the reader to judge the excellence of the conference by himself and whether he should attend the next ICSI in 2021. Above all, the organizers believe the ICSI conferences disseminate excellent research and share worthwhile and beneficial knowledge for the enhancement of science and the prosperity of our society, and therefore actively contribute to the preservation and sustainability of our world.

Conference Chairs,

Pedro M. G. P. Moreira Paulo J. S. Tavares INEGI – Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
