The 17th IEEE International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ICMAE 2026) will take place at Queen Mary University of London this July, bringing leading researchers and industry experts to the School of Engineering and Materials Science. The conference, sponsored by IEEE, will run from 15–18 July 2026 and will continue its tradition as a global forum for advances in aerospace and mechanical engineering.

Academics, researchers and students are invited to submit abstracts or papers by 25th April, with accepted contributions published in indexed conference proceedings.

The event builds on strong momentum from previous highly successful meetings in Europe, including Rome (2025), Zagreb (2024) and Porto (2023), each attracting close to one hundred submissions (in-person and online). Notably, at last year’s conference in Rome, Queen Mary School of Engineering and Materials Science (SEMS) MEng students presented innovative research on a low Reynolds number rotor, with applications in both propulsion and energy harvesting.

The conference highlights the School’s research excellence in aerospace and mechanical engineering, as well as its ability to attract high-impact international events. It also provides an opportunity to showcase the school’s strengths and to strengthen international collaboration. For further local information, please contact Dr Avital.
