JNC 2027 in Lorient: the national composites conference

The JNC (Journées Nationales Composites) is France's flagship conference for the composite materials community. Held every two years in Lorient, it brings together academics, researchers and industry professionals to review the latest scientific and technological developments in composites. The programme blends scientific papers, technical sessions and discussion panels, spanning fundamental research through to real-world industrial applications. Aerospace, space, automotive, marine and advanced materials are among the sectors most strongly represented. The venue is the Parc des expositions de Lorient in Lanester, within easy reach of central Lorient and the Brittany coast. Attendees typically look for accommodation in Lorient, Lanester and nearby towns such as Larmor-Plage or Ploemeur. Because the dates fall in Brittany's peak summer season, hotel availability in the area tightens quickly — booking early is strongly recommended.
