The Hellenic Society for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (HSTAM) in cooperation with the University of Patras and the Hellenic Open University announce the 13^th HSTAM International Congress on Mechanics to be held in Patras from 24-27 August 2022.

HSTAM was founded in Athens in 1978 and is a member of IUTAM– the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (http://iutam.org/ ). The first Congress was held in 1992 and since then a Congress is organized by HSTAM every three years in a different Greek city in collaboration with local Educational and/or Research Institutions.

After the last highly successful 12^th HSTAM in September 2019 organized by Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Thessaloniki, the next 13^th HSTAM Congress, organized by the University of Patras and the Hellenic Open University will be hosted by the University of Patras in Patras, Greece. The Organizing Committee intends to make this Congress a memorable event by bringing together renowned national and international scientists on several topics of Mechanics, promoting scientific discussions, encouraging future collaborations, and integrating in the scientific program a rich program of social activities.
