'Sustainable Intelligent Manufacturing International Conference (SIM 2013)', Lisbon, Portugal
26 June 2013 - 26 June 2013
Portugal
The 'Sustainable Intelligent Manufacturing International Conference (SIM 2013)'will be held from 26 to 29 June 2013 in Lisbon, Portugal.
The UN defines sustainable development as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. With sustainable development arises the huge challenge of combining innovative ideas regarding design, materials and products with non-polluting processes and technologies, conserving energy and other natural resources.
The rise of manufacturing intelligence is fuelling innovation in processes and products with a low environmental impact over the product's lifecycle. Sustainable intelligent manufacturing is regarded as a manufacturing paradigm for the 21st century, towards the next generation of manufacturing and processing technologies. On one hand, the manufacturing industry is at a turning point of its evolution and new business opportunities are emerging. On the other hand, sustainability has become a key concern for government policies, businesses and general public. Model cities are moving forward towards novel ecosystems, combining environmental, social and economic issues in more inclusive and integrated frameworks.
The conference will provide an international forum for academics, researchers and industrial partners to exchange ideas in the field of sustainable intelligent manufacturing and related topics. The conference expects to foster networking and collaboration among participants to advance the knowledge and identify major trends in the field.For further information, please visit:
