Programme Location Direction Accommodation THEMATIC approach to HARD MATERIAL EVALUATION The WINTEREVs are series of themed meetings organised by the European Hard Materials Group (EuroHM) of the European Powder Metallurgy Association. The aim is to bring together experts in a particular theme for in-depth discussion of technical issues at a precompetitive level. WINTEREV objectives target technical issues through workshops focusing on an area of importance to both research and industrial communities. Each meeting aims to review research objectives in the light of industry requirements. Where appropriate, standards activities are included in the review. The topics for debate are sought through questionnaires and other consultation [...]

Programme   Location Guide From materials design to application: Alternative binders, coatings, advanced characterisation, reliability, and recycling SummerEv26 explores the full lifecycle of hard materials—from raw materials and materials design, through innovations in alternative binders and advanced coatings, to state-of-the-art characterisation techniques (including synchrotron and neutron methods). The program further addresses reliability, application-relevant testing, and concludes with sustainable recycling strategies. Taking place in Vienna, Austria, on May 4th and 5th, Summerev26 follows the established afternoon–evening–morning format. The tentative program features contributions from TU Wien and a range of national and international collaboration partners, reflecting the breadth and depth of hard materials research in [...]
