Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS) we have the pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all researchers planning to attend the 23rd European Conference on Fracture – ECF23, scheduled from June 27 – July 1, 2022, on the beautiful Madeira Island, Portugal.

A Summer School on 25 – 26 June 2022, will take place as part of the conference. The two days event is mainly aimed at PhD students, young researchers and engineers, but it is open to everybody.

The conference will be held on one of the most emblematic hotels in Funchal, authored by the genius of Oscar Niemeyer, the Casino Park Hotel. The huge offer of hotels in Funchal provides the necessary conditions for every sort of visitors, constituting an invaluable argument for the organization of a large conference such as ECF.

ECF23 focus will be twofold, on dynamical aspects of Structural Integrity and the largely unobserved realm of Integrity loss under dynamical loads as well as the developments of the monitoring technical aspects and their pitfalls as dynamics particularities take precedence over the phenomena we have come to know so well.
