The third edition of the "Symposium on Acoustic Metamaterials" (SAM) will be held in Nîmes, France, from October 19 to 21, 2022.

This Symposium on Acoustic Metamaterials is mainly dedicated to Ph.D. students and Early Career Investigators  (i.e. researcher whose career spun less than 8 years since the date of the PhD) and aims at sharing new advances and breakthroughs as well as fostering the community of young researchers in the field of acoustic metamaterials. The third SAM will be organised around 6 different sessions comprising 20 min talks and plenary lectures.

Among others, addressed topics will be related to:

• Acoustic/elastic metamaterials and phononic crystals,
• Acoustic/elastic metasurfaces,
• Non-reciprocal manipulation of acoustic/elastic waves,
• Acoustic/elastic meta-devices based on transformation acoustics, parity-time symmetric acoustics, topological acoustics,
• Novel physical concepts for harnessing acoustic/elastic waves,
• New applications of metamaterial-based functional devices for acoustic sensing, cloaking, imaging, absorption, energy harvesting.
  

Participation fees for presenters/attendees at the Symposium: 250.00€.

This fee covers 3 lunches + morning and afternoon catering + Thursday's guided tour of Nîmes Arena + visit of the scientific exhibition in Carré d'Art from 19th Oct 2022 to 21st Oct 2022.

About the 1st and 2nd editions of SAM

The 1st SAM was held in Xàtiva (Spain) from 7th to 9th November 2018, and was co-organized by YRAM, the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and COST Action DENORMS (CA 15225). It was the first YRAM action to foster the community of young researchers in the field of Acoustic and Elastic metamaterial. It brought together 70 people, mainly ECIs. The scientific concert, open to all Xatìva inhabitants, and espacially children, was a great success. The concert hall was fully booked.

The 2nd SAM was held in Ischia (Italy) from 9th to 11th October 2019, and was co-organized by YRAM, the University of Salerno and COST Action DENORMS. It brought together 70 people from around the world, of which many ECIs. A scientific popularization event on Acoustics Through Movies was held. The scientific event, open to all Ischia inhabitants, was a great success counting over a hundred participants.
