About ABCM

The Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering - ABCM is a civil, non profit organization, of cultural and scientific character, founded in April 19, 1975, legally established in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The objective of ABCM is to join individuals, scientific institutions and industry interested in contributing to the development of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering in order to:

Promote research, and the exchange and diffusion of knowledge within the field of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering.
The area of interest includes science and technology in Mechanical Engineering, and in Mechatronics, Bioengineering, Civil, Electrical, Chemical, Naval, Nuclear, Aerospace, Petroleum, Materials Engineering, as well as applications of Physics and Mathematics, among others, in their interface with Mechanical Engineering.
Foster knowledge exchange among Universities, Research Institutes and Industry.
Although most of its one thousand members come from academia, the Society is also committed to expand the technical interaction of the University and Research Centers with the Industrial Sector, specially with those sectors involved in top technological challenges.
Promote knowledge exchange with other technical and scientific institutes and associations in Brazil and abroad.
ABCM has signed agreements of cooperation with the main local and international societies in Mechanical Sciences and Engineering. These agreements allow members to participate in conferences, buy publications and participate in promoted joint activities at reduced costs. ABCM is also the Brazilian representative Society in the main international organisms in the field.
Promote knowledge diffusion in Mechanical Sciences and Engineering through technical/scientific congress, symposia, conferences, courses and meetings.

The regular events are:
COBEM - International Congress in Mechanical Engineering
ENCIT - Brazilian Congress in Thermal Sciences and Engineeering
DINAME - International Symposium on Dynamic Problems in Mechanics
CONEM - National Congress of Mechanical Engineering
CREEM - National Congress of Mechanical Engineering Students
COBEF - Brazilian Meeting on Manufacturing Engineering
EPTT - Spring School on Transition and Turbulence
Promote the divulgation of the knowledge in Mechanical Sciences and Engineering by publishing textbooks, technical journals, treatises and other means of communication.

The technical journals are:
Journal of the Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering - RBCM
ABCM Engenharia
Thermal Engineering

ABCM is organized in Technical Committees that support all activities related to publishing and events organization of a specific technical area.

The Society administrative body is constituted by a Board of Directors and a Council, elected by ABCM members, for two and four years terms, respectively.
