THE AIM of the Conference according to the traditions of the FUDoM is to provide a forum for scientist in the field of mechanics focusing on Estonia, Finland and Hungary but aiming for a wider network either between these actors or any other interested parties. This will be an additional possibility to discuss current research activities, to get more aquainted with one another, and to find the areas of possible collaboration in future.

THE PLACE chosen for the Conference is Rackeve, about 30 km down from Budapest on the shore of the Danube river. The accommodation, meals and lectures are planned in the renewed Savoya Palace.

There is a certain probability to publish the texts of the talks later in the Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences after a usual refeering procedure.
