Danubia-Adria Symposia have a long tradition and they are organized under the auspices of the Danubia-Adria Society (DAS) on Experimental Methods founded in 1983. DAS brings together internationally recognized experts and young researchers in an effort to exchange ideas in different topics having the common link „Experimental Mechanics “. DAS acts also as a platform for establishing connections between different research teams that are trying to build and develop future scientific collaboration. The 41st Danubia-Adria Symposium on Advances in Experimental Mechanics will be held on September 23 – 26, 2025 in Kragujevac, for the second time in Serbia. The Conference will be focused on experimental and measuring techniques for thorough study of the mechanical properties of different materials, engineering structures and systems which are necessary to create the physical bases and provide verification of analytical or numerical methods in engineering design.
The official language of the Symposium is English.
