Registration is now open for the 2019 Functional Materials (FM) seminar which will be hosted in Bremen, Germany from 3 - 4 April 2019.

Every year the EPMA launches an anonymous trends survey to track the general trends of various sectors in terms of sales trends, future trends, capacity and prospect. The survey can be filled out online within a few minutes.

2018 has seen the formation of a new EPMA Sectoral Group, coming 5-years after the formation of the last Sectoral Group, EuroAM. The European Functional Material Sectoral Group or EuroFM as it will also be known, was created after the EPMA's Functional Materials Seminar held in Jülich, Germany, earlier this year.

At the start of December 2018 EPMA exhibited at the International CTI Symposium – Automotive Drivetrains Expo which took place in Berlin’s Estrel Convention Center. The 2-day event combined technical sessions with three exhibition areas all centred on the automotive powertrain sector.

The new EPMA Newsletter, Issue #115, is now ready for download. EPMA Members can download a copy via the Newsletters page. 

The European Powder Metallurgy Association has organized a Powder Metallurgy Thesis Competition, at both Masters and Doctorate levels, every two years since 1998, and annually since 2016. The 2019 competition has now been launched, and is accepting entries at www.epma.com/thesiscompetition.
