The event will feature technical paper presentations, industrial demonstrators, interactive workshops, innovation pitches, and networking sessions, providing a platform to discuss emerging technologies and circular design strategies in mobility systems.
Selected contributions will be published in peer-reviewed conference proceedings (Springer Nature), with opportunities for journal special issue publication after the conference.
