The REFEST project will participate in the SAMPE Europe 2026 Conference, taking place on 30 September and 1 October 2026 at the Grand Hotel Tiziano e dei Congressi in Lecce, Italy.
Under the conference theme, “The Future of Advanced & Sustainable Composites,” the event will bring together researchers, industry leaders and innovators from more than 25 countries to discuss the latest advances in composite materials, manufacturing processes and industrial research and development. The programme will include over 150 oral and poster presentations, alongside an exhibition featuring more than 30 sponsoring companies.
During the conference, AIMPLAS, a partner of REFEST, will present the project and its ongoing work towards developing innovative and sustainable solutions for the maritime sector. The presentation will provide attendees with insights into REFEST’s objectives, technical progress and contribution to advancing more sustainable materials and technologies for the blue economy.
The REFEST consortium looks forward to engaging with the international composites community, sharing project achievements and fostering new opportunities for collaboration.
