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 [...]
This in-person conference will bring together the Foundation Industries community to discuss the latest innovations and developments. There will be many chances to network throughout the event, as well as poster sessions, Q+A and a conference dinner.
‘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 [...]
The TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition brings together more than 4,000 engineers, scientists, business leaders, and other professionals in the minerals, metals, and materials fields for a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary exchange of technical knowledge.
Blue Skies, Greener Future: A Global Renaissance of Metallurgy: The Birth of Metallurgy 2.0 Speaker: Professor Zhongyun Fan Metals are the backbone of global manufacturing and the fuel for economic growth. However, extraction and processing of metals are highly energy intensive and cause severe environmental damage: metal extraction accounts for 12% of global primary energy demand and 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The global grand challenge is to decouple economic growth from environmental damage. The worldwide sustainability crisis has led to a complete rethink of how we source, formulate and deploy metallic materials in the future, triggering a global renaissance of metallurgy and giving birth to Metallurgy 2.0. In this context, we have developed a vision for full metal circulation (FMC), under which the global demand for metallic materials will be met by a full circulation of secondary metals without the need for either mining or metal extraction. [...]
To celebrate 10 years of Materials Research Exchange (MRE), we are ushering in a ground-breaking transformation for 2024 by introducing four exciting flagship events all in one spectacular experience! This unique event is your gateway to the world of materials innovation, featuring an exhibition, investor showcase, and cross-cutting seminars on technology transfer from the UK’s world-class research base. What’s on Prepare to be amazed as MRE 2024 delves into a diverse range of materials, from nanotechnology to biomaterials, textiles, polymers, metals, glass, and more. These materials are not just theoretical concepts but critical building blocks for real-world applications, including energy, construction, packaging, marine, automotive, and low carbon technologies. MRE is a catalyst for progress. Through cross-cutting presentations, thought-provoking panel discussions, and an investor showcase brimming with potential, MRE fosters an environment of knowledge-sharing and cross-sector interactions. MRE is where the UK’s research and innovation excellence in materials meets the world [...]
