About the Conference

As part of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (established in 1951), the Institute is organizing the International Conference on Multiphysics, Multifunctional and Multiscale Phenomena in Mechanics (M3PM 2026) from December 17 to 20, 2026, at the IIT Kharagpur campus.

Modern engineering challenges increasingly demand solutions that transcend traditional single-physics, single-scale, or single-function approaches. M3PM 2026 provides a platform for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to present and discuss cutting-edge advances in understanding, modeling, and engineering multi-physics, multifunctional, and multiscale phenomena across solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, materials ...
