Newsletter #69-2023 11 and Professor Stavros Kourkoulis was awarded the “Lazzarin Medal”. Moreover, “Award of Merit” was given to Prof. Francesco Iacoviello for the extraordinary support to IGF during the years and contribution for the development and growth of the society. “Manson-Coffin Medal”: Prof. Aleksandar Sedmak “Lazzarin Medal”: Prof. Stavros Kourkoulis “Award of Merit”: Prof. Francesco Iacoviello Proceedings have been published on an issue of Procedia Structural Integrity soon be available. Moreover, a Special Issue on Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale is being organised with a total number of 20 papers and 2 reviews. The volume of the presentations videorecordings entitled “IGF27 - 27th International Conference on Fracture and Structural Integrity” is available in ESIS-PH (LINK). The volume of the presentations videorecordings entitled “2nd Mediterranean Conference on Fracture and Structural Integrity: MedFract2” is available in ESIS-PH (LINK). In 2023, the next event organised by IGF will be the “Third European Conference on the Structural Integrity of Additively Manufactured Materials - ESIAM23” (September 4-6, 2023, Porto - Portugal & Web, LINK). In 2024, one of the events organised by IGF will be the “8th International Conference on Crack Paths - CP2024” (September 10-12, 2024, Rimini, Italy& Web). In the first half of 2023, IGF has published 4 issues of Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale (Fracture and Structural Integrity) with 254 papers, with a rejection rate of 92%. Also, for the 2023 Scimago Journal & Country Rank has certified that Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale is Q2 in these 3 different categories: - Civil and Structural Engineering; - Mechanical Engineering; - Mechanics of Materials. We wish to remind that Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale encompasses the broad topic of structural integrity, which is based on the mechanics of fatigue and fracture and is concerned with the reliability and effectiveness of structural components. The aim of the Journal is to promote works and researches on fracture phenomena, as well as the development of new materials and new standards for structural integrity assessment. The Journal is interdisciplinary and accepts contributions from engineers, metallurgists, materials scientists, physicists, chemists, and mathematicians. The Journal is completely free of charge, both for Readers and for Authors (no APC). Filippo Berto Poland Activities of the Polish Group of Fracture Mechanics for the year 2022 The Polish Group of Fracture Mechanics (PGMP) is actively developing international cooperation with many ESIS technical committees. PGMP members are intensively involved in TC12 activities. Currently, PGMP organizes an open scientific meeting on 20-22.IX.2023 and integrate the Polish Group of Crack Mechanics with other national organizations during the "National Conference of Fracture Mechanics". Conference website (LINK). During the conference there will be an "English Speaking Day" and the language of lectures will be English and Polish (during Polish sessions of the organizers). The Scientific Committee invites all members - guests. The registration deadline will be extended at the end of July (including
