Scope and content
Batchelor helped found the European Mechanics Committee (Euromech) in 1964 intended to organise colloquia on new research in specialist areas of mechanics. He chaired it until 1987 and later supported the change of name to European Mechanics Council. At this time the structure of the organisation changed, with three committees charged with organising conferences on turbulence, fluid mechanics and solid mechanics.
