XIV. International Conference
on the Theory of Machines and Mechanisms

General Information

By accreditation from the Czech National Committee IFToMM, the Technical University of Liberec organizes the XIV. International Conference on the Theory of Machines and Mechanisms.

The conference which is held every four years, continues its long-standing tradition since 1973 to be organized at the Technical university of Liberec in the Czech Republic. The Organizing Committee aims at bringing together specialists, working on issues related to the theory of machines and mechanisms from a general as well as a precise application point of view.
