(VLU - December 05, 2020) - Institute of Mechanics – VAST and Van Lang University had co-organized the International Conference on Modern Mechanics and Application – ICOMMA 2020 from 02 to 04 December 2020. The conference attracted many local and international scientists and researchers to participate and give various presentations related to modern mechanics in the 4.0 Industrial Era.
In the morning of 02 December 2020, the International Conference on Modern Mechanics and Applications – ICOMMA 2020 had officially commenced at N2T1 conference hall of VLU's Campus 3.
The conference saw the presence of Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tien Khiem – Member of VAST’s Science Board and the Chairman of ICOMMA 2020; Prof. Dr. Thai Ba Can – Chairman of HCMC Institute of Mechanics; Assoc. Prof. Dr. and Honored Scientist Dinh Van Manh – Director of VAST and Co-chair; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Thi My Dieu – President of VLU and Co-chair; Professor Tomas Benz – President of Vietnamese German University; and more than 100 local and international scientitsts who specialized in mechanics and automation.
To implement the anti-Covid-19 regulations, all the participants were required to maintain social distancing in all the activities. There were also some participants joined the conference virtually.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Thi My Dieu – President of Van Lang University gave an opening speech at ICOMMA 2020
During the opening speech, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Thi My Dieu – President of Van Lang University shared it was such a significant honor for Van Lang University to co-organize with the Institute of Mechanics – VAST ICOMMA 2020, which attracted the participants from more than 100 experts, researchers from local and international universities to discuss the latest projects related to modern mechanics. As an inter-disciplinary university, VLU is currently providing more than 50 Bachelor’s, 8 Master’s and 1 PhD. programs, which vastly specialized in engineering – technology. Starting from the academic year 2020, the university launched the study programs in Electronic and Electrical Engineering and Mechatronics. Van Lang University also constantly extends its international outreaches with global universities and adapts advanced developments in AI and Data Sciences.
Thanks to the parallel sessions at ICOMMA 2020, the researchers, scientists and experts from various universities, enterprises, organizations, and associations had the opportunities to approach and exchange new ideas and trends in modern mechanics in the 4.0 industrial era.
After the plenary session, the participants took parallel sessions to discuss specific topics related to biological systems; damages, fractures, and failures; flows problems, numerical methods, additive manufacturing, etc.
