THE 31ST INTERNATIONAL MANUFACTURING CONFERENCE

September 4th and 5th, 2014

Conference Theme: “Engineers in an Innovation Ecosystem”

The International Manufacturing Conference is returning to Cork after an 11 year absence, to be jointly organised by CIT and UCC. The theme of this year's conference is 'The Engineer in the Innovation Ecosystem', a theme which will highlight innovation and entrepreneurship amongst engineers across all sectors. Manufacturing Competitiveness has been identified as one of the key research priorities for future policy in Ireland. The 2013 GMCI report by Deloitte has identified ‘Talent Driven Innovation’ as the most important global driver of a nation’s competitiveness for the manufacturing industry.

The conference has a number of strands. It showcases specific innovations in industry and is an excellent opportunity for networking between industry, academia, entrepreneurs, innovators, and government and funding agencies. It uniquely showcases Manufacturing Engineering research undertaken with industry by experienced researchers and postgraduate students.

IMC31 will select up to ten of the best presented papers and recommend them for publication following review and enhancement in the International Mechanical Sciences (MS) journal. MS is an open-access journal run by Delft University of Technology, and is a scientific journal of the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science (IFToMM), indexed by Scopus. IMC will cover the publication costs in this journal.

We believe this is a unique opportunity to showcase what is best in engineering innovation locally, nationally and internationally, and hope that you will join us in realising that opportunity.
