M. da Silva  is Full Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP). He leads the Advanced Joining Processes Unit (AJPU) of the Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Engineering (INEGI). He is Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Adhesion.

Robert D. Adams  is Emeritus Professor of Applied Mechanics at the University of Bristol and Visiting Professor at the Universities of Oxford and Oxford Brookes. In 2011, he was awarded the R.L. Patrick Fellowship of the US Adhesion Society. He has been Joint Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives since 1999.

Klaus Dilger  studied mechanical engineering with a focus on manufacturing technology at the Technical University of Munich. In 1987 hebecame a temporary academic councillor at the Chair of Joining Technology and in 1991, after receiving his doctorate, he became a senior engineer. In 1997 Prof. Dilger accepted the appointment to the endowed professorship for adhesive bonding technology at RWTH Aachen University, where he worked on the engineering design and industrial implementation of adhesive bonding technology for demanding applications, e.g. in car construction and aerospace technology. Since 2002, he is the head of  the Institute for Joining and Welding Technology at the TU Braunschweig.
