19th Global Conference on Sustainable Manufacturing

Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires Buenos Aires, Argentina

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

YHA Castleton Losehill Hall Hope Valley, Derbyshire, United Kingdom

‘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.

Blue Skies, Greener Future: A Global Renaissance of Metallurgy

Virtual - Zoom

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.
