Sustainable Design and Manufacturing 2017

  • Date: from 26 April 2017 to 28 April 2017

  • Event location: University of Bologna Bologna, Italy

We are pleased to invite participation in SDM-­2017 organised by KES International with the patronage of AITeM (Italian Association of Mechanical Technologies). The conference will take place in Italy at the University of Bologna, which was founded in 1088 and which is considered the oldest University in the Western world. Bologna is an amazing medieval and Renaissance city where several monuments and architectural examples, such as medieval towers, antique buildings and churches as well as works of art are still well preserved. It is a lively cultural and artistic centre and a major transportation crossroad from which Florence, Venice, Milan and other Italian art cities are quickly reachable.

All these features make it a popular destination for scholars and tourists. Furthermore, it is located in an important manufacturing district, where famous companies such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Ducati have their headquarters and production plants.

The conference will consist of keynote talks, oral presentations, invited sessions and workshops. It covers 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.
