The ARMS project was represented at the 22nd European Conference on Composite Materials (ECCM22), held in Oslo, Norway, from 21–25 June, through the participation of project partner AIMEN Technology Centre. 

During the conference, Cintia Mateo from ARMS partner organisation AIMEN Technology Centre delivered a scientific presentation titled “Development of Advanced Carbon Fibre-based Electrodes towards their Integration into High-performance Structural Supercapacitors” within the Functionality and Smart Systems session.

The presentation highlighted ongoing research on the development of advanced carbon fibre-based electrodes designed to enable multifunctional composite structures capable of both bearing mechanical loads and storing electrical energy. This work aligns closely with ARMS’ mission to advance next-generation multifunctional materials and energy-storage solutions for lightweight and high-performance applications.

ECCM22 provided an excellent platform to share ARMS research results with the international composites community, exchange knowledge with leading experts, and strengthen collaboration opportunities across academia and industry. As one of Europe’s leading conferences on composite materials and structures, ECCM brings together researchers, scientists, and industry professionals to discuss the latest scientific and technological developments in the field. The 2026 edition placed a particular focus on sustainability, disruptive technologies, and emerging applications across sectors such as aerospace, automotive, energy, maritime, infrastructure, and sports. Key themes included green and sustainable materials, recycling and repair technologies, advanced modelling and composite mechanics, digital and AI-assisted solutions, process monitoring and quality control, innovative characterization methods, and functional materials. 

We thank AIMEN Technology Centre and Cintia Mateo for successfully representing the ARMS project at this prestigious event!
