We like to thank everyone who contributed to this process with opinions, comments, and suggestions to choose the best papers and even improve their quality. Their support is invaluable in ensuring quality is achieved.

ICMAE organization was a challenging task due to the large and increasing interest of our research and application areas. Efforts from many people were required to shape the technical program, arrange meeting venues, manage the administrative aspects, and set up the social functions. We like to take this opportunity to thank all of them. We like also to thank the public and private organizations that supported the meeting in different ways. In closing, we thank you for participating and we hope you enjoy this conference! It is therefore with great honor and pride that we welcome you to Zagreb, and to the 15th International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ICMAE 2024).
