JAMS is a leader in international coordination of research, development, and standardization for structures constructed from composites and advanced materials. The common goal of this joint center, as with the other COEs, is to create a cost-sharing academic, industrial, and governmental partnership.

Joint Advanced Materials & Structures Center of Excellence (JAMS) 2024 Technical Review

When: May 21-23
Where: Long Beach Convention Center, Long Beach, CA

JAMS attendees should register for an “Exhibits Only” pass and use the code JAMS24. This pass includes entry into JAMS sessions, Exhibit Hall, Keynote Presentation and Welcome Reception.

Industry, government and academic collaborators are invited to attend the 2024 Joint Advanced Materials & Structures Center of Excellence (JAMS) Technical Review held in conjunction with SAMPE 2024.This review allows JAMS researchers and the FAA to focus their research efforts appropriately to the needs of industry. It includes reviews from the Center of Excellence for Composites and Advanced Materials (CECAM) at Wichita State University and the COE for Advanced Materials in Transport Aircraft Structures (AMTAS) at the University of Washington.
