Circular Production Systems and Technologies - Enablers of the Future
In a world striving for sustainability, circular production is no longer optional, it's essential. The Circular Production Systems and Technologies conference is the meeting place for experts from research and industry to explore how circular technologies reshape production, minimize waste, and create lasting value.
On June 9 and 10, 2026, the CRC 1574 (Collaborative Research Center "Circular Factory for the Perpetual Innovative Product") invites you to Karlsruhe for two days full of in-depth specialist presentations, discussions, and valuable networking opportunities.
The conference will focus on strategies, technologies and systems for sustainable industrial production. The topics range from integrated circular production and product-production co-design to adaptive reprocessing, sensor-based condition assessment and changeable production systems. Perspectives from production and materials technology, computer science, robotics and knowledge modeling are brought together.
The aim is to discuss new solutions together with industry, create synergies and drive forward the implementation of circular principles in practice. One thing is clear: the production of the future must not only be efficient, but also sustainable and adaptable - and this is precisely where this conference comes in.
Join us in shaping the circular production of tomorrow - we look forward to your participation!
