The EuroEAP Conference is sponsored by the EuroEAP Society. Past conferences archives can be found at the EuroEAP website

The EuroEAP international conference, organized by the EuroEAP Society with a not-for-profit distinctive character and always held in Europe, in charming and easy-to-reach locations, is primarily aimed at sharing and disseminating the latest advances and findings in this emerging field. It gathers experts from all over the world in a highly multidisciplinary event, driven by scientific quality and industrial impact, with an organisation and daily schedule that enable significant opportunities for one-to-one discussions, in a friendly atmosphere.

Since 2011, the conference has been focused on Electromechanically Active Polymers. Today, the event expands its scope to the larger international and diverse research community of soft smart materials and soft transducers.

The conference topics cover any aspects of the whole chain from chemistry of materials to integrated devices and products, including:

• Development of actuation, sensing and energy harvesting devices based on smart soft materials and transducers, including (but not limited to) polymer gels, ionic polymer metal composites, conducting polymers, carbon nanotubes, piezoelectric polymers, electrostrictive polymers, pyroelectric polymers, dielectric elastomers, electret materials, magnetic materials, light-responsive polymers, liquid crystal elastomers, phase-change materials, shape memory materials, liquid metals, pneumatic actuators and electrostatic transducers.
• Novel stimuli-responsive materials
• Design, manufacturing, characterisation and testing of new devices for various fields of application, including soft robotics, haptics, mechatronics, optics, acoustics, energy harvesting, biomedical systems, smart textiles and wearables;
• Modeling, simulation and control of devices and systems;
• Development and validation of applications.
