On Monday, September 4^th, the most important event in the field of classical and quantum mechanics in Poland will begin - the 5^th Polish Congress of Mechanics together with the 25^th International Conference on Computer Methods (PCM-CMM). The Silesian University of Technology, which is co-organizing the congress this year, will host several hundred specialists dealing with the issues of mechanics and mechanical engineering. The honorary patronage over the congress was taken by the President of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda.

The meetings will take place from the 4^th to 7^th September 2023 at the Educational and Congress Centre of the Silesian University of Technology. The organizers of the combined events are: Silesian University of Technology, Polish Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Polish Society of Computational Mechanics and the Committee on Mechanics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

The 5th Polish Congress of Mechanics continues the tradition of scientific meetings devoted to mechanics, initiated about 16 years ago during the 1^st PCM in Warsaw in 2007. The Congress presents the current state of research in all disciplines of classical and quantum mechanics, mechanics of solids and fluids, computational mechanics, applied mechanics and physics, as well as mechanics and structural engineering. It has become one of the most important international scientific congresses representing this field of science, gathering up to 600 participants every 4 years.

In turn, the 25^th International Conference on Computer Methods in Mechanics continues a 50-year series of conferences devoted to numerical methods and their applications in mechanical problems. Scientific meetings, organized every two years since 1973, are a forum for presenting and discussing new ideas relating to the theoretical foundations and practical applications of computational mechanics.

During the combined events, the latest trends and discoveries in the field of mechanics will be discussed. Among the scientists conducting plenary lectures will be, among others: prof. Marek Behr from Aachen University (Aachen University of Technology), prof. J.M. Floryan from the University of Western Ontario in Canada, prof. Kostyantyn Korytchenko from the Kharkiv Technical University, Andrzej Katunin, prof. SUT. The detailed program of the event is available here.
