The Conference Chairs, Prof. Pramod Rastogi and Dr Erwin Hack invite you to Switzerland to be a part of the Conference on Processes in Combined Digital Optical and Imaging Methods applied to Mechanical Engineering which will be held at Monte Verita, Ascona, between 8th and 13th May 2016.

The main conference objectives are to:

  • stimulate discussion among different branches of metrology
  • further the understanding of the general concept of the involved methods
  • present the state-of-the-art through keynote and invited lectures
  • discuss emerging research topics and trends

The stimulating and unique ambiance of Monté Verità is chosen to organize a conference with a familiar and scientifically inspiring fragrance. It is intended to have invited papers to start each session. A single session concept guarantees open and broad discussion.

Two types of contributions are solicited:

  • Original research contributions (20 min)
  • Short presentations (12 min) on timely topics

This conference is sponsored by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Congressi Stefano Franscini (ETH Zurich).

Digital optical and imaging techniques have seen a significant growth of interest in recent years. Application of advanced processes and innovative ideas cutting across disciplines has been central to the train of efforts that have helped translate these techniques to unprecedented levels of performance in applications to mechanicalengineeering.

This Conference provides a platform to bring together researchers interested in the development of processes of digital optical and imaging methods applied to mechanical engineering, with a view to interact and share among themselves their latest findings and pursuits.

Sessions will be composed of both invited and contributed papers, solicited on the following topics:

  • Development and application of optical methods
  • Data fusion from optical and complementary full-field methods
  • Tomography with coherent optical, ultrasound, x-ray, thermal or any other method
  • Sub-surface flaw detection by combined methods
  • Wave-propagation in complex engineering structures
  • Wavefront manipulation for interrogating the inside of a structure

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Congressi Stefano Franscini, ETH Zurich’s conference platform on Monte Verità (Ascona, Ticino) the Director and the Scientific Board decided to establish

a CSF Award for young scientists

to be attributed to the best presentation.

The Award corresponds to the

sum of CHF 500.-

together with a certificate and a small CSF memento.

The Award was presented to Marie-Christine Zdora from the University College London and the Diamond Light Source for her outstanding presentation “Phase Sensing Using X-Ray Near-Field Speckle Methods”. Congratulations!

After notification of acceptance, an extended abstract of 1-4 pages, including (colour) figures and references, should be submitted by March 31st, 2016, to opticsandimaging2016@epfl.ch

Welcome to the Congressi Stefano Franscini, the international conference centre of ETH Zurich located in the South of Switzerland, on the fascinating hill above Ascona called Monte Verita.

Monte Verita is set amidst the hills overlooking Ascona and Lake Maggiore. From the very beginning it has been a magnet for the convergence of ideas, movements, experiments and historical personages, all of which are being commemorated with a new project to promote the Monte Verita centre.

A Shuttle Bus will connect hotels in Ascona with the Conference Centre.

By train

Locarno can be reached by train. Traveling by train in Switzerland is comfortable and very reliable; thanks to the world's best rail system. Numerous international trains arrive in Ticino every hour from the gateways Basel and Zurich, stopping in Bellinzona (with direct connections to Locarno, on Lake Maggiore). Also the picturesque and romantic journey with the Centovalli Railway, links Ticino (from Locarno to Domodossola) directly with French Switzerland (Brig, Lausanne & Geneva).

On the arrival day (Sunday May 8) there is a shuttle bus service connecting the train station and Monte Verità. The shuttle departs at:

15.20, 16.00, 16.40, 17.20, 18.00, 18.40

On-site

Accommodation on-site Monte Verita is available for a limited number of attendees and their companions on a first come, first served basis.

Sharing a bedroom with another participant will increase the possibilities of being booked at the conference site hotel. If you have a suggestion for the room sharing, you can indicate a name in the registration form. Participants booked in one of the nearby hotels will have a free transport provided to and from the conference site in the morning after breakfast and in the evening after dinner.

Booking rates per person and per week including full board and lodging on Monte Verità:

  • double room: CHF 1’110.- (about 1’040 EUR / 1’170 USD)
  • single room: CHF 1’310.- (about 1’225 EUR / 1’380 USD)

A limited number of rooms with special rate, such as at the Students House, are available. Please contact the conference secretary before registering, if you are interested in these options.

Note that the on-site accommodation and the registration fees are billed together.


Pre- and Post-conference

We take care of booking your accommodation for the period of the conference only. We can provide assistance for booking pre- and post-conference nights.

Insurance

The congress organizers cannot accept any liability for personal injuries sustained, or for loss or damage to property belonging to congress participants (or their accompanying persons), either during, or as a result of, the congress. Registration or accommodation fees do not include insurance.


Cancellation

Cancellations after payment will be accepted only upon written notice. Your fees (accommodation and registration) will be refunded according to the following scheme:

  • cancellation before April 15th, 2016 - 70% refund;
  • cancellation from April 16th to April 29th, 2016 - 30% refund;
  • cancellation after April 29th, 2016, or in case of no show - no refund.

Registration is no longer possible. Please contact the secretary directly at opticsandimaging2016@epfl.ch
