The Wessex Institute (WIT) is a research and advanced training centre with an international reputation for excellence in engineering and physical sciences. It



This scientific event comprises new editions of the High Performance of Structures and Materials (HPSM) as well as the Optimum Design of Structures (OPTI) conferences; it follows the success of a number of meetings on structures and materials and on optimum design that originated in Southampton as long ago as 1989. As the HPSM meetings evolved, they gave rise to the current series, which started in Seville in 2002, and continued in Ancona in 2004, Ostend in 2006, the Algarve in 2008, Tallinn in 2010 and the New Forest, home of the Wessex Institute of Technology in 2012. OPTI started in 1989 in Southampton and then took place in Boston in 1991, Zaragoza in 1993, Miami in 1995, Rome in 1997, Orlando in 1999, Bologna in 2001, Detroit in 2003, Skiathos in 2005, Myrtle Beach in 2007, Algarve in 2009 and New Forest in 2012. Joint HPSM/OPTI meetings took place in Ostend in 2014, Siena in 2016 and Ljubljana in 2018. They were organised as online events in 2020 and 2022 due to the COVID pandemic.
The use of novel materials and new structural concepts is not restricted nowadays to highly technical areas like aerospace, aeronautical applications or the automotive industry, but affects all engineering fields including those such as civil engineering and architecture.
Most high-performance structures require the development of a generation of new materials, which can more easily resist a range of external stimuli or react in a non-conventional manner. Particular emphasis is placed on intelligent structures and materials as well as the application of computation methods for their modelling, control and management.
