The three day international conference “Modelling & control of flexible structures interacting with fluids” will present the best results from the research of the ModConFlex consortium.

The presenters will include researchers, academic investigators and researchers from the industry partners of ModConFlex consortium. In addition, several international speakers will be invited. The second day of the conference (Thursday June 11, 2026) will be dedicated to talks from industry and the presentations of the ModConFlex researchers.

Plenary speakers: Ning Liu (FEMTO-ST), Bernhard Maschke (Université Claude Bernard, Lyon 1),  Swann Marx and Clément Moreau (CNRS).

There is no conference fee and lunch is provided plus a conference dinner on Thursday.

The venue

Waldhotel Eskeshof 

Nearest bus stop is "Falkenberg". 

During the conference, there will be works on the train tracks leading to Wuppertal, so please make sure to check connections for your actual travel dates. From many directions, there is bus replacement service ("Schienenersatzverkehr") from Düsseldorf.

The bus replacement service stops close to Stadthalle. If you should like to walk the whole way, that would be a 3.5km walk:  OpenStreetMap - walk to hotel. From Falkenberg busstop, you can also take a shorter path than this one, which involves a path in the forest. In case of taking the woodpath, you'll reach the hotel by walking down metal stairs.
