Events and Trade Fairs

Initiated by CIRP in 2013 the BioM Conference has developed into the world’s leading forum to discuss progress and future directions, set milestones and promote scientific exchange on biodesign, biofabrication and biomechatronics. The BioM Conference 2024 is headed “Future Production. Driven by Nature”. Experts from academia as well as industry will meet to discuss novel solutions, latest research findings and visionary ideas addressing biologically inspired processes and products in manufacturing, biological transformation and biointelligence. Futhermore, artificial intelligence and digital methods that will promote the transfer of biological principles into technosphere will be topics of the conference.

3R-research in the focus - at our workshop at Fraunhofer ITEM in Hannover on June 11, 2024. .

Join the conference "Models of Lung Disease" for experts in lung research at Fraunhofer ITEM in Hannover on June 20 and 21.

In this Fraunhofer CCPE compact event, we will present insights and issues on the LCA of recycled plastics from two different technologies with industrial partners (solvent-based and mechanical recycling). Together we would like to discuss interactively how recycled plastics should be modelled in LCA to enable comparisons between different technologies. At the end of the workshop, in addition to an outlook, we will also invite recycling experts to continue to participate in this process of harmonization and transparency of LCA data and methods for recycled plastics. Let's shape the future of sustainable recycled plastics together! We look forward to seeing you on June 20, 2024!

As one of the leading R&D institutes with many years of dry coating expertise, Fraunhofer IWS now provides a dedicated platform and launches the Dry Coating Forum (DCF). DCF is a forum for material suppliers, equipment manufacturers, cell makers, and end users to exchange information about current trends, developments, and challenges in the field of dry coating technologies.

ISPA 2024 will bring together researchers, scientists, and industry professionals from around the world to explore and discuss the latest advancements and applications in the field of piezocomposites. This years' symposium will feature three main research and application focuses: energy harvesting, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) applications as well as sonar Applications.

Following the tradition and success of the past years, the 11th “Lithium-Sulfur Batteries“ Workshop will again bring together an international audience of scientists and industry representatives. Renowned experts will present the latest results, new materials, processes and applications in the field of lithium-sulfur batteries. Plenary lectures by internationally renowned speakers will offer delegates excellent possibilities to get acquainted with the latest developments and research results.
