Mission and vision

The IRMES Conference has a successful history, and a promising future – conditioned by the need
for international cooperation in research and development of machine elements and systems.
Since the first Conference (held in the year of 1995th – IRMES 1995) to the 7th Conference (IRMES
2011), organizers have gathered more than one thousand authors and participants, who have
presented more than 780 papers, reviewed and categorized as scientific and professional papers
published in the relevant proceedings.
IRMES Conference organizers – ADEKO association, wishes to help to the global engineering
community in development of solutions for real engineering challenges. Founded in 1973, by the
name ‘Yugoslavian Society for Machine Elements and Constructions’, ADEKO is a non-profit
professional organization that gathers numerous educational institutions from central and south-
eastern Europe and enables collaboration, knowledge sharing and skill development across
numerous engineering disciplines, especially in the fields of power and motion transmission
systems, 3D modelling and FEM analysis, rapid prototyping, product development and machine
design, while promoting the very important role of the engineer in the global society.
IRMES Conference mission is to serve global communities by advancing, disseminating and
applying engineering knowledge, and also to be the essential resource for mechanical engineers
and other technical professionals throughout the world.

Tourist opportunities
Trebinje is the southernmost city in Republic of Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and its located
only 28km from the famous city of Dubrovnik (Adriatic sea coast), where numerous beach resorts
and tourist attractions could be find. The Old Town of Trebinje was established in the 18th century
and soon developed into a trading & crafts centre named Kastel. Also, nearby is Andricgrad,
bohemian town, promoted by the famous movie director (E. Kusturica) – with regular cultural
manifestations and movie and music festivals. More on:
