We are very happy to announce the "2022 International Workshop on Multiscale Innovative Materials and Structures" (MIMS22) to be held from September 29th through October 1st, 2022 in Cetara (Salerno), Italy. The Workshop will be held at the Cetus Hotel located in a scenic venue of the beautiful Amalfi Coast (video).
This event is hosted by the PRIN 2017 project "Multiscale Innovative Materials and Structures" supported by the Italian Ministry of University and Research through the grant # 2017J4EAYB. The Workshop encompasses the final review meeting of this project and is open to external participants.
Contributions related, but not limited, to the following areas are welcome:
• Multiscale mechanics
• Mechanical and acoustic metamaterials
• Innovative and sustainable materials
• Architectured materials and composites
• Granular materials and systems
• Smart materials and structures
• Microstructure engineering and modeling
• Seismic metamaterials
• Waves in discrete and continuous systems

Venue
The meeting room, the terraces and the banquet halls of the scenic Hotel Cetus will host the scientific and social activities of the Workshop.
Standing on a sheer cliff that overlooks an enchanting bay, the Cetus Hotel is located only 300 meters from Cetara, a historic fisherman village, and offers a striking view on the Amalfi Coast. The elegant décor and refined atmosphere is inspired by the tradition of Vietri ceramics. The hotel is equipped with 37 rooms, all with sea view, air-coditioning and internet wi-fi, and may host up to 91 participants. It also offers a private beach, set in an enchanting almost shell-shaped bay, wellness and fitness centers.
Transportation services allow access to daily shuttles from/to Salerno. Accommodation at Cetus for two nights is included in Full Registration Fees. See also the following video.
Alternative accommodations are available at nearby hotels. Transportation services included in basic and full registration fees allow access to daily shuttles from/to the Airport of Naples and the hotels listed on the dedicated webpage.
