The European Postgraduate Solid Mechanics Conference (EPSMC), supported by EUROMECH, is a European conference organised by and for PhD students in solid mechanics. The 2027 edition, at CentraleSupélec in Gif-sur-Yvette, is the first one dedicated to solid mechanics, following the conferences for young researchers in fluid mechanics held since 2007.

It brings young researchers together to share their work in advanced fields of solid mechanics and to build their network.

Four mini-symposia

Talks are grouped into four mini-symposia, each opened by a keynote from a young researcher.

Beyond the talks

Science and Society lecture

A lecture on solid mechanics and sustainable development, open to all participants.

Workshops

• Digital image correlation
• Reduced-order modelling
• The Trefftz method
• Mechanics-informed AI

Social events

To meet colleagues, share ideas and start new collaborations.

Organised by

Seven third-year PhD students of the LMPS – Laboratoire de Mécanique Paris-Saclay. Meet the committee.
