About Conference

The 10th International Young Researchers Conference “Industrial Engineering 2023 – Circular Economy: production and consumption” is dedicated to development of young researchers’ research competences in view of sustainable industrial development, sustainable production and consumption. The Conference is organized in cooperation with The Baltic University Programme’s (BUP) Coordinating Secretariat at Uppsala University and BUP Lithuanian National Center as a part of annual BUP’s Student Conference 2023.

This year, we are focusing on the topic of Circular Economy. The Conference is to cover a wide range of topics such as:

Advanced mechanical technologies.
Industrial Design and Engineering.
Material Science and Engineering.
Production Technologies and Engineering.
Sustainable Consumption and Business Management.
Sustainable Energy Systems.
Sustainable Food Systems and Agriculture.
Sustainable Urban and Rural Development.
Transport Engineering and Sustainable Mobility.

The International Young Researchers Conference offers a great opportunity to learn about the issues addressed by young researchers’ works and their results, discuss and assess the national and international importance of scientific achievements for the industry and society.
