ear friends, don’t forget the upcoming joint conference organized by IGF: IGF28 - MedFract3 (https://www.igf28 medfract3.eu/). This event combines the 28th International Conference on Fracture and Structural Integrity (IGF28) with the 3rd Mediterranean Conference on Fracture and Structural Integrity (MedFract3) . The conference will be held both in person in the beautiful setting of Aci Castello (Catania, Italy) and remotely. While remote participants will be able to fully engage in all sessions and discussions, they will unfortunately miss the opportunity to savor the delicious cuisine of Sicily! Five different thematic symposia and a Summer School entitled “ AI-Driven Innovations in Structural Integrity ”are organized during the Conference. It is important to underline that all fees collected will be entirely dedicated to::  Event organisation;  Summer School organization; Discover a new dimension of collaborative research with our shared NotebookLM presentations. These aren't just static documents; they're dynamic, interactive environments designed to foster deeper understanding and collective exploration. Imagine dissecting complex topics, contributing insights, and building upon shared knowledge in real-time. Our shared notebooks offer unparalleled opportunities for discussion, allowing you to seamlessly integrate your perspectives and questions directly within the research context. This innovative approach breaks down barriers, making scientific inquiry a truly collaborative endeavor. Elevate your research experience by engaging with data, analyses, and ideas in a uniquely interactive and shared space. Prepare to unlock new levels of insight through collective intelligence. The first NotebookLM presentation we published is focused on our first thematic issue entitled “ Revisiting classical concepts of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics ”. Stay tuned! Soon, other shared NotebookLM presentations will be available in the journal website. Ciao  Publication of the dedicated Procedia Structural Integrity issue;  Publication of the IGF journal Fracture and Structural Integrity ;  All other IGF activities (e.g., website publication). With this issue we activated a new service in the Fracture and Structural Integrity website: Ask to AI.
