ECCM22 will turn Oslo into the European hub for innovation in composites.

From June 21 to 25, 2026, Oslo (Norway) will host the 22nd edition of the European Conference on Composite Materials (ECCM22), widely regarded as one of Europe’s most important scientific and technological events for the composites industry.

Organized by the European Society for Composite Materials (ESCM), the conference will bring together researchers, technology centers, universities, manufacturers, and leading companies from across Europe to discuss the latest advances in composite materials, sustainability, process digitalization, new raw materials, and high-performance industrial applications.

The growing demand for lighter, stronger, and more sustainable solutions is driving significant transformation across sectors such as automotive, aerospace, wind energy, construction, rail transport, marine industries, and advanced infrastructure. In this context, events such as ECCM22 provide a key platform for exploring the trends that will shape the future of the composites industry.

Among the main topics expected to attract attention at this year’s edition are new high-performance resin systems, recyclable composite materials, automated manufacturing technologies, industrial process optimization, circular economy strategies for composites, and the development of functional materials capable of delivering increasingly demanding performance requirements.

These research and development areas are closely aligned with the fields in which Clades Composites operates, providing technical solutions for composite manufacturers and processors across multiple industrial sectors.

Within our portfolio, technical resins continue to play a fundamental role in applications requiring high mechanical performance, chemical resistance, thermal stability, and long-term durability. Likewise, specialized mineral fillers help optimize properties such as weight reduction, fire resistance, surface finish, and the functional performance of composite materials.

Pigment pastes and formulations specifically developed for composites are also part of a growing trend focused on combining functionality, aesthetics, and manufacturing efficiency within a single solution. At the same time, ABABOL cleaning, sealing, and release systems continue to improve manufacturing productivity by optimizing the performance of molds and tooling used in technologies such as RTM, infusion, hand lay-up, compression molding, and rotational molding.

ECCM22 will once again highlight the importance of collaborative innovation between industry, research institutions, and the scientific community in addressing the sustainability, efficiency, and competitiveness challenges that will define the future of the composites sector.

At Clades Composites, we will closely follow the conclusions and technological advances presented during the conference, reaffirming our commitment to the development and supply of advanced materials for high-performance composites.
