The International Conference on Manufacturing Research (ICMR2023) will take place from 6th until 8th of September 2023 at Aberystwyth Business School, Aberystwyth University, Wales, UK. It will include keynote presentations by internationally renowned researchers and industrialists, as well as papers from academia and industry, exploring all core areas of advanced and digital manufacturing engineering. Initiated by the Consortium of UK University Manufacturing and Engineering (COMEH), ICMR has been the UK's main manufacturing research conference for 36 years and an international conference since 2003 - bringing researchers, academics and industrialists together to share their vision, knowledge and experience, and discuss emerging trends and new challenges. With the accelerating globalisation of manufacturing in the 21st century, the urgent need to keep pace has produced rapid advancements in technology, research, and innovation. ICMR solicits papers on both cutting-edge and emerging theoretical research and its recent industrial applications with the goal of bringing [...]

We are pleased to invite contributions for SDM23 taking place in Bari, Italy as a conference organised by KES International. SDM-2023 will consist of keynote talks, oral presentations, invited sessions and workshops. It will cover the theory and applications of sustainable design and manufacturing, and related areas, whilst providing an excellent platform for the presentation and discussion of new data and concepts, leading to knowledge exchange and the generation of new ideas. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer as book chapters in a volume of the KES Smart Innovation Systems and Technologies series, submitted for indexing in Scopus and Thomson-Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) and the Web of Science.

CENTS Research Showcase and Celebration Event 2023 Thursday 16th November 2023, Al-Qasimi Room, Royal Academy of Engineering, Prince Philip House, London Join us at the CENTS Network's End-of-Project Celebration Event, as we mark four years of dedicated effort and a steadfast mission: fostering a vibrant community of practice with a specific focus on applying Circular Economy principles within Sustainable Transportation systems. In partnership with our management team, the network's members, and valued partners, we have collaboratively generated impactful outcomes. These outcomes have laid the pathways, cultivated critical mass, and added to the necessary thought leadership in realising a Circular Economy Transition. Now, we arrive at the pivotal question: what's next? We've extended invitations to policymakers, business leaders, industry experts, academia, and additional stakeholders. Together, we will continue to amplify the networks legacy and chart the course forward About the event Circular Economy research showcase for Sustainable Transportation Systems Networking [...]

The GCSM serves as a global forum for academics, researchers, and specialists from universities, research institutes and industry across the globe, working on topics related to sustainable manufacturing. A unique feature of the GCSM conference series is its integration of industrial engineering perspectives, sustainable manufacturing applications in emerging and developing countries, as well as education and workforce development for advancing sustainable manufacturing. Sustainable Manufacturing is the buzzword for our global conference, taking place annually since 2003 and returning to South America for the second time in 19 years. The conference aims to exploit manufacturing engineering potentials for bridging the gap between awareness on sustainability challenges and means to systematically and concretely cope with them. To overcome the challenges of global sustainability becomes an ever more urgent task, as the awareness about imbalanced wealth distribution, climate change and lack of holistic responsibility in investments are considerably rising. Interdisciplinary discourse and [...]

‘Here to Hope 2024’, is an annual gathering of enthusiasts for industrial sustainability.  The programme is structured around the need for Industrial Transformation to happen at scale and speed with an extra focus on Regenerative Manufacturing.  The agenda is flexible and will also offer opportunities to meet your needs. This is a programme about the future and sprinting into it with purpose for what the planet needs most.  We want you to think about your impact, your careers and your PhDs within this context and make the most of this time set aside for conversations and exploration.  Part of the time will be spent tackling specific issues to allow our thinking to move to reality (we will be leading sessions on Regenerative Manufacturing for example), and some of the time will be spent discussing how we cope as individuals. NOTE:  Standard Registration is not free of charge.  When you register, you [...]
