JEC has decided to celebrate the Olympic and Paralympic Games 2024, with an exhibition at JEC World 2024 showcasing the close ties between composites and sports, and the increasing use of composites over the past years in many of the 18 Summer Olympic and Paralympic sports.The “Discover Composites” exhibition will be located at the entrance of Hall 6 in the Main Gallery. The display will chart the evolution of the composites’ applications in the various disciplines up to present time through a variety of engaging formats, including real-world products, processes, and samples of materials. To prepare the exhibition, JEC commissioned Ignaas Verpoest, Emeritus Professor, Composite Materials Group, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Véronique Michaud, Head of Laboratory for Processing of Advanced Composites at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), and Helena Teixidó, PhD in Composites from EPFL, to document the history and its key milestones and achievements, and Linde De Vriese, team leader of the Composite Lab of Sirris (Leuven, Belgium), to create the materials and process displays. Visitors to the exhibition will be able to journey through different sports, gaining a deeper appreciation of the technological aspects and the benefits of composites to improve athletic performance.
