GALM: 8th Annual Global Automotive Lightweight Materials Summit Europe

Now in its 8th year, the Global Automotive Lightweight Materials Summit Europe is Europe’s leading automotive OEM led lightweight materials conference.

The 2019 GALM Europe Summit features a brand new programme with two full days focusing on the theme of High Performance Lightweight Materials for Electric Vehicle Body and Battery Protection Structures.

The conference will analyse how OEMs are becoming increasingly creative in the search for innovative multi-material solutions to reduce car body weight, to improve the vehicle range and overall performance, and ultimately to drive higher volume of BEVs.

Latest confirmed speakers include:

David Salway, Senior Advanced Concept CAE Engineer, NIO
Mustafa Basaran, Senior Material and Manufacturing Engineer, Ford Otosan
Lei Shi, Senior Chief Engineer and Director of Vehicle Attributes, Qoros Auto
Tobias Link, Researcher and Project Manager, Institute For Chemical Technology
Fraunhofer ICT, Ahmed Elmarakbi, Professor of Automotive Composites, Member of EU Graphene Flagship Project, Northumbria University, UK
Mark White, Technical Specialist Lightweight Vehicle Structures, Former OEM Chief Engineer, DSW Automotive
Nir Kahn, Director of Design, Plasan
Tomasz Czarnecki, Chief Operations Officer, EconCore
