The 8th TensiNet Symposium 2026 will be held in combination with the 7th Essener Membranbau Symposium and will take place in Essen, Germany.

In the heart of the Ruhr region, Essen is a city that has accepted and mastered the challenges of the transformation from a mining and steel industry city to a modern green city. Essen fascinates with its artistic and cultural sights, such as the Zeche Zollverein, the Villa Hügel or the Folkwang Museum, as well as with its excursion destinations in the countryside, which invite you to go cycling and hiking. Of course, there is also no shortage of shopping and nightlife options in the city.
