28-30 August 2024 Glasgow, Scotland, UK

Welcome to the ICMR2024

We are pleased to announce that the Department of Design, Manufacturing and Engineering Management at the University of Strathclyde will host the 21st International Conference on Manufacturing Research (ICMR2024) between 28-30th August 2024. The Conference will take place in Glasgow, Scotland, incorporating the 38th UK National Conference on Manufacturing Research.

Initiated by the Consortium of UK University Manufacturing and Engineering Heads (COMEH), ICMR has been the UK’s main manufacturing research conference for 38 years and an international conference since 2003 - bringing researchers, academics, and industrialists together to share their vision, knowledge, and experience, and discuss emerging trends and new challenges. With the accelerating globalisation of manufacturing in the 21st century, the urgent need to keep pace has produced rapid advancements in technology, research, and innovation. ICMR solicits papers on both cutting-edge and emerging theoretical research and its recent industrial applications to bring together practical and theoretical knowledge from academic, governmental, and industrial organisations globally.

ICMR2024 will also be held in cooperation with the journal Manufacturing Review, global publisher EDP Sciences, and the EU FAST-SMART project consortium.

We look forward to welcoming you to Glasgow and making ICMR2024 one more successful bridge for knowledge exchange!
