The 8th International Meeting on Origami in Science, Mathematics and Education (8OSME) will take place in Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia between 16th and 18th July 2024. 

The OSME meeting is one of the most important gatherings of the origami community around the world. Previous meetings, held approximately every four years, have been highly successful; the community has grown exponentially, which is demonstrated by the fact that over 400 participants attended in the 7OSME in Oxford. The meeting proceedings have become the definitive guide for advanced origami research.

We are fully aware that the success of the meeting is dependent on your active participation. We welcome you if you are origami artists who create artistic objects, mathematicians who model origami or use origami to solve other mathematics problems, scientists who explore folding or biological objects, engineers who use origami to tackle problems in the virtual and real worlds, and educators who use origami to inspire younger generations.

We have invited six exemplary keynote speakers for plenary sessions as a part of the conference program. Feel free to visit the Program page for details. The full program of the meeting can also be found on that page. We have included useful information sections in the program brochure, providing everything you need to know for coming to Swinburne and presenting your work.

8OSME will be followed by the Folding Australia 2024 origami convention on 20-21 July. The convention will focus more on the practice of origami as an art form, with classes, demonstrations, workshops and games aimed at a diverse audience from beginner folders to professional artists.

We look forward to seeing you in Swinburne University of Technology.
