The “Aachen Reinforced! Symposium” will take place every two years in the field of reinforcement fiber production and composite manufacturing. The symposium builds on the long time success of the International Glass Fiber Symposium and the Symposium for Tailored Carbon Fibres. Both events are now combined into the new “Aachen Reinforced! Symposium”, catering to a large audience of experts while maintaining its focus and unique charm. Aachen Reinforced is unique as it is the only symposium which focuses on the fiber production from raw materials to finished products.

Aim of the symposium

The aim of the symposium is to serve as the principal international forum for reporting outstanding research and development on carbon and glass fiber as well as composite technology from raw materials to final applications. Parallel sessions will be held on glass and carbon fiber production in an intimate and small setting. This ensures an in depth and focused discussion on the fiber production process from raw materials to finished fibers which is unique to this symposium. In subsequent joint sessions on the fiber-matrix interface and composite materials, the carbon and glass fiber industries will come together to conclude the symposium. Aachen Reinforced will take place from 26 – 28. October 2020 in Aachen (Germany), and will host experts on carbon and glass fiber as well as composite technology from around the globe. The symposium provides an opportunity for you to learn about the latest trends in technology and research, as well as to network with the respective experts.
