Professor J.N. Reddy, Honorary Member of the Engineering Division of EURASC, is recently elected to two different national academies. He is elected as the Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the Corresponding Member of the Royal Academy of Engineering of Spain. The Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) is the national academy of the People’s Republic of China for engineering. It was established in 1994 and is an institution of the State Council of China. The CAE and the Chinese Academy of Sciences are often referred to together as the “Two Academies”. The Royal Academy of Engineering of Spain (Real Academia de Ingeniería, RAI) promotes works and studies that reflect scientific progress in the field of engineering, its technological applications and its operational techniques.
Professor Reddy is the inaugural holder of the Oscar S. Wyatt Jr. Endowed Chair in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas. In 1998 he was appointed as the University Distinguished Professor (only top 2% of the university faculty hold this honor); he was named as the Regents’ Professor in 2010. His pioneering works on the development of shear deformation theories (that bear his name in the literature as the Reddy third-order plate theory and the Reddy layerwise theory) have had a major impact and have led to new research developments and applications. Another profound contribution of Professor Reddy has been in education and knowledge that impacted the educational and professional lives of scoreless young people around the world through his text books, short courses, and workshops.
His collaborations in Europe are extremely strong. In particular, he has been a research collaborator/seminar speaker in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, U.K., Finland, and Germany many times (e.g., Politecnico di Torino, University of Parma, University of Bologna, University of Campania, University of Roma, University of Calabria, University of Naples, Oxford University, University of Swansea, University of Stuttgart, University of Wuppertal, Aalto University, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, University of Zaragoza, University of Porto, and University of Lisbon), working with local researches on shell theories for laminated composite structures. As a result of this extensive collaboration, he published many journal papers and books with European co-authors. Also, his collaboration in Italy, Spain, and Portugal have been very extensive and it continues to this day. In addition, Professor Reddy served as advisor and/or external committee member of PhD students in U.K., Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal. Dr. Reddy also presented several short courses and organized a NATO Advanced Study Institute on finite elements and composite materials and structures in various places in Europe.
Professor Reddy served Chinese structural engineering community with research collaborations and teaching of short courses and conducting workshops and conferences for over 25 years. In fact, he was a member of the first delegation of researchers from the USA who attended the International Conference on Finite Element Methods, August 2-6, 1982, Shanghai. Since his first visit to China in 1982, he came to China many times, and in recent times almost every year, to give lectures and conduct short courses. Some of the universities he has developed collaborations with and/or delivered lectures include: Beihang University, Beijing; South China University of Technology, Guangzhou; Jilin University, Nanling Campus, Changchun; Shanghai University, Shanghai; Chongqing University; Xi’an Jiaotong University; Shanghai Jiaotong University; Wuhan University; Southeast University, Nanjing; China Academy of Sciences, Beijing; Tsinghua University, Beijing; Tongji University, Shanghai; Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen; Dalian University of Technology; University of Science and Technology of China; East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST), Shanghai; Zhejiang University, Hangzhou; Guangdong Institute of Intelligent Manufacturing, Guangzhou; University of Macau; and City University of Hong Kong. He holds several honorary appointments at various Chinese Universities: Qiushi Chair Professor of Zhejiang University; Honorary Professor, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics; Guest Professor, Guangdong Institute of Intelligent Manufacturing, Guangzhou; and Advisory Professor, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China, Oct. 2019.
The professor Carlos Duarte has been awarded the BBVA Award (12th edition).

Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 situation, it has been decided that the annual event would be again postponed.
Therefore, we hope to be able to fix a new date as soon as possible.
More information coming soon.
Cardiff School of Engineering’s Professor Roger Falconer (now Emeritus Professor of Water Engineering since October 2018) and Founding Director of the Hydro-environmental Research Centre (1997-2015), has been elected a Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), in the biennial election in November 2019 of all CAE Members. Roger was informed by the President of CAE of his election to the Academy, in recognition of his ‘distinguished contributions to hydraulic engineering and to the promotion of China-UK exchanges and cooperation in the field’. Membership of the CAE is the highest academic title in engineering science and technology in China and is a lifelong honour, with election being made by the existing members of the CAE. Foreign members are non-Chinese citizens who are distinguished and recognised for their achievement in engineering.
Roger first started collaborating with China through Tongji University in 1981; since that date he has continuously collaborated with several top (Chinese) universities and government institutes, with the following being some examples of notable collaborations: (i) Tongji University: design formulations for harbours and marinas to maximise water quality; (ii) Tsinghua University: development of a software tool CONTANT for the design of water supply disinfection tanks; (iv) Tianjin University and Municipal Government: modelling Bohai Bay and Sea as a system, with the objective of balancing economic development of the Bay for increased shipping, against minimising the impact on the coastal environment; (v) Wuhan University: development of new formulations for the stability of people and vehicles in floods; etc. Roger has also published extensively with Chinese co-authors (e.g. in 116 of 206 journal papers to-date) and has been appointed Honorary Professor at several Chinese universities, such as: Tongji, Tianjin, Sichuan and China’s Institute of Water and Hydropower Research.
The President of EURASC, Professor Rodrigo Martins has been asked to be the “Kuemmerer”/”Guardian Angels” for thematic sessions of Sustainable Materials and Green deal and of the session concerning Young Scientists, during the IndTech 2020 to be organized during the Germany presidency of the European Union, in Mainz, 26-28 October 2020.

“Creativity Towards Future Science Challenges”
The President of EURASC, Professor Rodrigo Martins integrates the world scientist group asked for thinking what Materials we will need for the future. The group that includes 20 top world scientists define a new paradigm for science, called STEM Materials, whose concept is to design and create a material able to integrate functions, such as an organ. This concept was accepted by the director of DG Research on Prosperity of the European Commission, Peter Droeel, to be introduced as a key issue within the Horizon Europe programme, targeting the objectives of the Green Deal proposed by the presidency of the European Commission.
