If you would like to present a poster during the symposium, please send the title and a half page abstract to FML2017-AE@tudelft.nl. This will allow the organisers to ensure that sufficient space is available and that the posters fit the scope.
During the programme there will also be an opportunity to visit the Delft Aerospace Structures and Materials Laboratory – the birthplace of Glare.
