From November 3–5, 2027, the Société Française d’Adhésion (SFA), a division of the Société Française du Vide (SFV), will have the honor of hosting the 16^th European Conference on Adhesion (EURADH 2027) in Toulouse, the European capital of aeronautics.

For three days, Toulouse will become the leading European meeting place for the adhesion community, bringing together academic researchers, adhesive formulators and manufacturers, equipment suppliers, and industrial end-users from across Europe and beyond.

Reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of adhesion science and technology, EURADH 2027 will foster dialogue between fundamental research and industrial innovation. The conference will explore adhesion in all its dimensions, spanning biological adhesion, coatings and paints, bonding and assembly, and emerging technologies shaping the future of the field.
​​​​​​​

Conference Topics:

Through plenary and invited lectures, contributed oral presentations, and poster sessions, the conference will cover a broad range of scientific and technological topics, including:

• Fundamental Adhesion & Wetting – Physical and chemical mechanisms governing interfacial phenomena.
• Surface Treatments & Functionalization – Surface preparation, characterization, and innovative modification techniques.
• Synthesis & Formulation – Advanced adhesive chemistries, sustainable and bio-based materials, and eco-design approaches.
• Design & Structural Engineering – Design of bonded structures, joint optimization, fracture mechanics, and predictive modeling.
• Testing & Characterization – Advanced experimental methods for characterizing adhesives, interfaces, and bonded assemblies.
• Durability & Sustainability – Long-term performance, environmental aging, circularity, repairability, and recyclability.
• Industrial Applications – Innovative applications in aeronautics, automotive, electronics, construction, biomedical engineering, and other sectors, together with manufacturing, qualification, standardization, and regulatory aspects.

We warmly invite you to submit your latest research and technological developments and join us at Espace Vanel in Toulouse. Together, let us make EURADH 2027 an inspiring forum for scientific exchange, innovation, and collaboration within the international adhesion community.

If this text is intended for the conference website or the first call for abstracts, it could also be made slightly more inspiring and promotional, with a stronger emphasis on networking, sustainability, and the strategic role of adhesion technologies.
 

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Toulouse for EURADH 2027!
