Due to the difficult situation in the world, which is associated with the spread of Covid-19 virus infection, members of the Scientific and Organizing committees decided to hold the 48th International Summer School-Conference APM-2020 ONLINE. We hope this would allow to continue the exchange of experience between scientists in area of theoretical and applied mechanics and save the history of the conference for 2020. The online conference will be held from June 21 to June 26, 2020 on the ZOOM online platform. This format was selected exclusively for 2020.

Scientific program is available in PDF format
The Book of abstracts is available here. 
The Proceedings will be published at IPME RAS website. 

Forms of presentations at the APM-2020 online conference:

1. plenary lectures (35 minutes);
2. presentations at minisymposia (20 minutes);
3. «live channel» (5 minutes’ presentation announcement + subsequent discussion).

Presentations "live channel" and minisymposia presentations you can find here.
