The Asian-Australasian Association for Composite Materials (AACM) was founded in 1997 to encourage the free exchange of information on composite materials which are of interest to the scientific and engineering communities.

The association has been instrumental in the advancement of composite science and technologies. It has made a great stride toward the provision of an　Asian-Australasian-wide discussion forum as evidenced by the number of successful meetings held so far.

The 1st Asian-Australasian Conference on Composite Materials (ACCM-1) held in October 1998 at Osaka was sponsored by the Committee on Composite Materials of the Society of Materials Science, Japan (JSMS), and School of Engineering of Osaka University. Thereafter, ACCM conferences were held with unprecedented successes in　Kyongju-Korea (August 2000), Auckland-New Zealand (July 2002), Sydney- Australia　(July 2004), Hong Kong (November 2006) and Kyushu-Japan (September 2008).

This time Committee on Composites Materials of Taiwan is happy to host the 7th Asian-Australasian Conference on Composite Materials (ACCM-7) at Taipei, on 15th -18th November 2010. The ACCM-7 is aimed at providing a forum for profound discussions as well as sharing ideas on various technologies concerning every aspect of composite materials and structures. ACCM-7 will also serve as an international liaison between engineers and scientists working in the field of composite materials.
