Dear Sir or Madam,

I regret to inform you that the XXX Symposium on Experimental Mechanics, scheduled for October 15–18, 2025, will not take place. Only around 20 participants confirmed their attendance, which is not sufficient to cover the fixed costs associated with organizing the event. I sincerely apologize for the late notice. Until the very last moment, we were hoping that at least 35 participants would register, which—together with attendees from the organizing institution—would have ensured the minimum required for the conference to be self-financing. We plan to make another attempt to organize the event next year, hoping that this time the required minimum number of participants will be reached.

With kind regards,
Chair of the Scientific and Organizing Committee,
Prof. Paweł Pyrzanowski

OBJECTIVES
The purpose of the Symposium is to bring together researchers to present their latest achievements in experimental mechanics of solids, fluid mechanics, mechanics of constructions, machine building and biomechanics.

MAIN TOPICS
The organizers welcome contribution within the following main topics:

• New experimental methods and instrumentation used in mechanics
• New applications of experimental methods
• Automation of measurement and data processing
• Analysis of experimental data
• Quality and system control

ORGANIZED ON BEHALF OF

• Institute of Aeronautics and Applied Mechanics, Warsaw University of Technology
• Experimental Mechanics Section, Committee on Mechanics of the Polish Academy of Sciences
• Polish Association for Experimental Mechanics

HISTORY

Symposia of Experimental Mechanics of Solids are organized every two years - it is a continuation of symposia in the field of experimental mechanics started in 1962 by the Organizing Committee composed of professors Zbigniew Brzoska, Roman Doroszkiewicz, Przemysław Jastrzębski, Jacek Kapkowski, Zbigniew Orłoś, Jacek Stupnicki and Wojciech Szczepiński. The tradition of organizing these specialized scientific conferences has been maintained, as evidenced by the number of conferences organized so far. The first two symposia in 1962 and 1965 were devoted to elastooptics, while the subject concerning Experimental Research for Mechanics of Solids appeared in 1967 and is maintained to this day. In 2022 the Symposium theme was expanded to include fluid mechanics.
