Our next E-Lass meeting will be held 10-11 October in Pula, Croatia. Uljanik will host the event together with E-Lass and it will be very interesting to see Uljanik’s new vessels that includes a substantial amount of lightweight materials. I am most grateful for Vito’s presentation which I have sent out to all members earlier this year, however in case you missed the information:

I would like you to send me proposals for presentations as soon as possible. As usual, novelties relating to usage of lightweight materials in the maritime business are welcome. Not “too” academic and not too much of a sales promotion. Novelties of general interest to the business.

We welcome sponsors for the event (food and on-site travel expenses). Let me know if you would like to contribute.
