The work of the conference was held at Aalto University and included 14 theme sessions and 20 special sessions. Besides, two seminars and two industrial forums were organized, one of which took place at an industrial enterprise. “At the conference scientists from 34 countries made 283 reports. Germany had the most reports, China took the second place in the number of reports, Finland – the third, Japan – the fourth, Sweden – the fifth. In total these countries made about 50% of the reports”, commented V.N. Dubinin.
