The next Congress on Numerical Methods in Engineering (CMN 2019) will be held in Guimarães, Portugal, in July 1-3, 2019. It is a joint initiative from the Portuguese Association of Theoretical, Applied and Computational Mechanics (APMTAC) and Spanish Association of Numerical Methods in Engineering (SEMNI).

CMN 2019 aims to be a forum for the discussion of relevant scientific, and technological developments in computational mechanics, numerical methods and engineering applications. The scientific program will comprise plenary lectures from leading researchers, sessions in the scope of congress topics and thematic sessions in different research fields (available in the congress website, www.cmn2019.pt).

Authors are invited to submit an abstract within any congress topic or a thematic session until December 1, 2018. The submission of abstracts can be carried out directly on the website of the conference http://www.cmn2019.pt/index.php/submissions.

We are looking forward to your participation to CMN 2019 and to welcoming you in the UNESCO world heritage site of Guimarães in July 2019.
