Mechanical and Aerospace Technology

The EKAMA (European-Korean Association of Mechanics and Aerospace) was founded in 2018 during EKC 2018 held in Glasgow, UK, to gather all Korean scientists and engineers working in Europe on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering together from the 9 Korean associations in Europe. One of our aims is to build up a European network with all these members and to enhance specialized cooperation between Europe and Korea. As the slogan of EKC 2024, the cooperation between the scientific community and industrial communities, Green Industry, we focus on the transfer of technologies in the field of Transportation, such as future Automobiles, aerospace, in particular satellites. Moreover, because we are always interested in environmental problems, new trends in green technologies are one of our concerns. This is why green energy development is also a hot issue. The engineering approach for it, especially the Mechanical one is welcome to be presented and discussed for our green earth. Aerospace is one of the main keywords of this division, especially satellites, because the need for telecommunication is exponentially growing as well as scientific purposes to observe our own earth to prevent environmental changes. Korea has made an important development in this field during the last decades and EKAMA has prominent members working in this field. It could be a good opportunity to join both parts to establish strong links. Digital twin is one of the key words of Industry 4.0 combining design and manufacturing processes. All applications using numerical simulation are welcome to show today’s state of the art.
