Aims & scope
The International Symposium on Advances in Abrasive Technology (ISAAT) was first held in Sydney, Australia in 1997. Since 2002, ICAT has been a driving force for the organization of this exciting annual event. This series of symposia has been successfully held in Hong Kong China, UK, Turkey, Russia, US, Japan, Australia, Taiwan, China, Germany, Singapore, Mainland China, Republic of Korea, Sweden and Canada. An emphasis of the ISAAT series is to bring together both academic researchers and industrial practitioners from around the world for the interchange of the latest developments and applications in abrasive technologies. The ISAAT2024 in Portoroz, Slovenia will continue to highlight the latest developments in the field and promote research collaboration, as well as to foster the growth of researchers and practitioners in abrasive technologies.
