« Life can only be understood by looking back, but we can only live it forward » (Sören Kierkegaard)
The CIRP Design Conference is held annually as the flagship conference of the Scientific and Technical Committee (STC) on Design of the International Academy for Production Engineering (CIRP). The 37th CIRP Design Conference (CIRP Design 2027), to be held in Aix-en-Provence, France, provides a valuable and prestigious forum for discussing fundamental research, applications and current practices in the design of products, services and systems related to the global manufacturing industry.
The conference is organised by the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers and the École Centrale de Nantes, supported respectively by the LISPEN and LS2N research laboratories.
