Objectives The 8th edition of the International Conference on Computational Methods for Coupled Problems in Science and Engineering (COUPLED PROBLEMS 2019) will be organised on 3-5 June 2019 in Sitges, a beautiful village located in the southern Mediterranean coast of Barcelona in Spain.

The previous seven editions of the COUPLED conference were held on the islands of Santorini (Greece) on 25-28 May 2005, Ibiza (Spain) on 21-23 May 2007, Ischia (Italy) on 8-11 June 2009, Kos (Greece) on 20-22 June 2011, Ibiza (Spain) on June 17 – 19 June 2013, San Servolo, Venice, Italy on May 18 - 20 2015, and on Rhodes Island, Greece on June 12 - 14 2017.

The objectives of COUPLED PROBLEMS 2019 are to present and discuss state of the art, mathematical models, numerical methods and computational techniques for solving coupling problems o f multidisciplinary character in science and engineering. The conference goal is to make step forward in the formulation and solution of real life problems with a multidisciplinary vision, accounting for all the complex couplings involved in the physical description of the problem.

The conference is a Thematic Conferences of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS) and a Special Interest Conference of the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM). It is also supported by other scientifi c organizations in Europe and worldwide.
