The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Grant Agreement No 823731.
The consortium demonstrates excellence in research and experience in international collaboration in large research projects. The project is a result of previous partnership cooperation that proves existing strong links between the partners in this project. Marie Curie's International Research Staff Exchange Scheme helps our research consortium to set up and strengthen long-term cooperation with others, through a coordinated exchange programme for the staff.
The overall aim of this project is to develop a joint training and cutting-edge research program based on state-of-the-art technologies that will strengthen the research partnership between the institutions.

Conclusion of the action. The CONMECH project was an international project focusing on applied mathematics. This collaborative endeavor brought together experts from various countries, aiming to push the boundaries in nonlinear analysis and nonsmooth analysis. Central to our research was the exploration of advanced techniques in functional and numerical analysis for contact mechanics, which have significant implications for engineering applications. Throughout the project, our dedicated co-workers have demonstrated exceptional cooperation skills, facilitating the exchange of ideas and methodologies. This synergy has led to beneficial results that not only validated our theoretical models but also have opened new perspectives for practical implementations. The collaborative nature of this project has been instrumental in achieving original results. By leveraging diverse expertise and resources, we have made great strides that would be unattainable in isolation. The cooperation amongst the team members has proven to be a cornerstone of our success, fostering an environment where innovative solutions can thrive. As we continued to develop and refine our approaches, we remained committed to delivering outcomes that have a profound impact on both the academic and industrial spheres. This project exemplifies the power of international collaboration in advancing the field of applied mathematics and its myriad applications.
