Canadian Committee for the Theory of Machines and Mechanisms
The 2025 CCToMM M3 Symposium
The 2025 CCToMM Symposium on Mechanisms, Machines, and Mechatronics (M3 Symposium) will be held at the University of Ottawa, in Ottawa, Ontario, on June 19 and 20. The name Ottawa is derived from the Algonquin word “adawe”, which means “to trade”. The nation’s capital has the highest proportion of university-educated residents among Canadian cities and is home to several colleges, universities, research centers, and cultural institutions.
Located in the heart of the city, the University of Ottawa is the largest bilingual (English-French) university in the world. This provides an ideal location for the Canadian and International machines and mechanisms community to exchange knowledge and ideas about the latest advances in the field. Information on the M3 Symposium can be found here.
Full papers can now be submitted to the Symposium Platform
The University of Ottawa is located on unceded territory of the Omamìwìnini Anishnàbeg (Algonquin) adjacent to the Rideau canal and across from the Parliament of Canada and many other cultural buildings.
Welcome to the CCToMM Homepage
The Canadian Committee for the Theory of Machines and Mechanisms (CCToMM) was formally recognized as a national committee member of the International Federation for the Theory of Machines and Mechanisms (IFToMM) at the Third World Congress on Theory of Machines and Mechanisms, held in Dubrovnik in 1971. CCToMM, as a national committee member of IFToMM, shares the objectives of the latter, namely, the promotion of the development in the field of machines and mechanisms by theoretical and experimental research and its applications to practice. (Art. 2.1 of the IFToMM Constitution)
The field of interest to CCToMM being so broad, including various subfields of special interest to IFToMM, namely:
- Computer-Aided Design Methods
- Dynamics of Machine Systems
- Gears and Power Transmissions
- Robots and Manipulators
- Mechatronics
- Micromechanisms
CCToMM produces a Newsletter, which is intended as a channel of communication between the Executive Council and the CCToMM members, in addition to serving as a forum for all those interested in the field. The main advantage of a CCToMM membership is networking, that is enabled through access to information on technical issues and, most important, through access to other persons with the same technical interests.
