ICAMEMS 2026 marks the fourth edition of the International Conference on Advances in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science (ICAMEMS), with the previous editions successfully conducted annually from 2022 to 2024 at VIT-AP University, Amaravati. The 2026 edition is being organized by VIT-AP University in collaboration with Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, UK. 

ICAMEMS 2026 aims to bring together an international community of scientists, engineers, and industry experts. This forum will serve as a platform for sharing knowledge on technological advancements, innovations, and achievements in the domains of mechanical engineering and materials science. In addition, it will provide opportunities to deliberate on recent developments and address the challenges in areas such as machine design, manufacturing, thermal engineering, and fluid sciences.

The primary focus of the conference is to provide a robust technical platform that promotes scientific research and fosters educational activities aligned with the needs of both industry and society. Significantly, ICAMEMS 2026 emphasizes the role of mechanical engineering and materials science in improving the quality of human life through the integration of theory and practice.

The conference program will include keynote addresses and invited lectures by eminent speakers from across the globe, who will highlight emerging trends, innovations, and challenges in the field of mechanical engineering and materials science.
