In May 2007, AIMAC (Académie Internationale Mohammed VI de l’Aviation Civile), ESTA ( Ecole Supérieur de Technologie d’Agadir), ENIT (Ecole Nationale d’Ingénieurs de Tarbes) and INSA (Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Rouen) hosted an international symposium ACMA2007 in Agadir-Morocco to mark the opening of the newly extended Aircraft materials: Damage and fatigue diagonistics. A group of national and international speakers presented their views and work on various topics such as Fatigue design, NDT, thermoplastic materials, braiding, performing technologies, RTM and other liquid resin infusion technologies.

Delegates remarked that the symposium lived up to their expectation, providing a good mix between general information and technical details. The large attendance and positive feedback from the delegates was very rewarding and therefore it was decided to organize a second ACMA 2008 in Agadir-Morocco. An equally successful event was hosted in 2008, with an attendance 210 participants from all over the world and more than 150 speakers from various industries, research institutes and universities. The third edition of this symposium, ACMA 2010, Will be held in Marrakech (Morocco) on May 12-14, 2010.

ACMA 10 is one of the leading events in North Africa in the Technical and Scientific Conference Calendar, Whilst Metals and Polymer Composites are a strong theme, ACMA 10 will focus also on Nanomaterials and nanocomposites Materials and Technologies. New aircraft materials are developed or selected  to meet the design, performance,quality, and cost effective criteria required. Fields of research and application include, but are not limited to:
