Invitation and Call for Papers

The NAFEMS NORDIC Conference 2012 will be held at the Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel in Gothenburg on 22 - 23 May 2012. Entitled “Engineering Simulation: Best Practices, New Developments, Future Trends”, the conference will give delegates an unrivalled independent insight into best practices and state-of-the-art which consequently show upcoming trends, tendencies and necessary future needs in FEA, CFD, MBS and associated technologies.

The two-day conference aims to increase awareness and provide a discussion forum for topics that are important and relevant to engineering industrialists and academics.

If you are an analyst, engineer, team leader or manager that has a responsibility for ensuring that a fit-for-purpose engineering solution is obtained from the use of modern simulation software, then you should attend.

The event is open to both members and non-members of NAFEMS, with members able to attend the event for free, as part of their membership benefits package.
