1. The Second International Workshop on
Origami Engineering
6-8 November, 2017, Tianjin University, Tianjin, China
Overview
The Second International Workshop on Origami Engineering will be held on 6-8 November, 2017 in Tianjin University, Tianjin, China, following the first one in UIUC, USA organised by Professor Paulino back in 2014.
The objective of the workshop is to bring together researchers from all aspects of origami to exchange ideas and share views about the cutting-edge topics in the area, and to promote the applications of origami in science and engineering. The workshop will consist of keynote sessions from world leading experts and poster sessions for domestic and international researchers to present their research outcomes.
