About yCAM

The young Ceramists Additive Manufacturing Forum (yCAM) is an event and networking platform organized by EMC and supported by ECerS, dedicated to all young researchers interested in the Additive Manufacturing of ceramics. 

yCAM cooperates with ECerS Young Ceramists Network to advertise their reciprocal activities.

The yCAM Forum was first organised in 2017 and has been organised every year since:

• yCAM 2017 took place in Berlin, Germany, on March 23rd-24th 2017
• yCAM 2018 took take place in Padova, Italy, on May 3rd-4th 2018
• yCAM 2019 took place in Mons, Belgium, on April 3rd-5th 2019 
• yCAM 2020 took place Online, with the help of the University of Toulouse, on October 28th-30th 2020
• yCAM 2021 was organised as a half day online meet-up event on 29th October 2021
• yCAM 2022 took place from 9th to 11th November 2022 at the University of Barcelona, Spain
• yCAM 2023 was organised from 30th August to 1st September 2023 at the Montanuniversität in Leoben, Austria
• yCAM 2024 was organised from 6th to 8th May 2024 at the Tampere University, Finland
