ICMEM 2027: Engineering with Heart

8. – 11. February 2027 | Ostrava, Czech Republic 

ICMEM 2027 — the International Conference on Manufacturing, Engineering & Materials — represents more than a biennial scientific gathering. It is an evolving European platform dedicated to advancing the understanding of manufacturing systems, materials performance, and intelligent engineering practice in a world undergoing rapid and fundamental transformation.

As artificial intelligence reshapes production environments, sustainability imperatives redefine design constraints, and industrial resilience emerges as a strategic priority, the engineering community faces challenges that transcend individual disciplines. This Special Issue responds to that reality. It brings together high-quality, application-oriented contributions spanning advanced manufacturing technologies, functional and low-carbon materials, energy-aware engineering systems, and AI-enabled solutions for intelligent production - with a clear emphasis on engineering relevance and industrial applicability.

The collection reflects a deliberate commitment to interdisciplinary thinking. Contributions are expected to demonstrate not only technical rigour, but also clear links to broader societal and industrial outcomes - including sustainable production, digital transformation of engineering practice, long-term material performance, and circular economy principles. In this sense, the Special Issue positions engineering not merely as a technical discipline, but as a domain of responsibility.

At its core, this collection is guided by the conviction that durability, maintainability, and resource stewardship are not optional engineering attributes - they are ethical imperatives. By integrating the perspectives of academic researchers, industrial practitioners, and emerging scholars, ICMEM 2027 and this Special Issue aspire to contribute to a new engineering culture: one in which we design not only for performance, but for the generations that will inherit what we build.
