Scope of the conference

Powders and Grains is an international scientific conference held every 4 years that brings together engineers and physicists interested in the microcmechanics of granular media. These meetings are organized by AEMMG (Association pour L'Etude de la Micromecanique des Milieux Granulaires). Previous meetings were held in Clement-Ferrand, France (1989), Birmingham, England (1993), Durham, USA (1997), and in Sendai, Japan in 2001.

Powders & Grains distinguishes itself from other meetings on granular materials in two ways:

It brings together both engineers and physicists.

It emphasizes the micromechanics of granular materials.

The conference program includes contributions from experts around the world related to the general topic of granular media.
