BACKGROUND
ACUN conferences have a historical background:
In 1998 at an ICCE Conference in Las Vegas USA, Dr. Sri Bandyopadhyay (UNSW, Australia), Prof. Sami Rizkalla (then of University of Manitoba, Canada), Dr. Piyush Dutta (CRREL, USA), and Prof. Debes Bhattacharyya (U Auckland, NZ) discussed the possibility of a totally new class of composites conference.
This led to the birth of ACUN conferences: ACUN-1 in 1999, ACUN-2 in 2000, ACUN-3 in 2001, ACUN-4 in 2002 and ACUN-5 in 2006 all held at University of New South Wales - Australia.
The ACUN-3 , ACUN-4 and ACUN-5 conferences held at UNSW were ranked by its delegates from 21 countries as amongst the World's top 5 to 10 conferences they have attended in their career.

The Organisers are offering companies and organisations the opportunity to become sponsors/exhibitors of the ACUN-6 International Composite Conference, enabling them to promote their organisation and obtain wider recognition.
Sponsors of the ACUN-6 will have a unique opportunity to gain direct access to over hundreds delegates specialising in composite and nanocomposite from around the world.
The contribution of the sponsors is recognised as a valuable enhancement of the conference and sponsorship levels have been set at a minimum level to allow maximum participation from key organisations. As primary sponsors, you would benefit from a high profile participation in an event reaching decision-makers, managers and practitioners in research, universities, government agencies, organisations and companies.
Sponsors supporting the meeting at a certain value will be assigned to various levels of sponsorship catergories. You can find different possibilities of sponsorship from which you can choose the most suitable way of promotion for your organisation.
