12th CIRP RA e-Workshop, July 6-7, 2020

Posted on by

The 12th CIRP Research Affiliate Workshop will be held online on July 6th and 7th afternoons (UTC+2). Indeed, due to the worldwide pandemic, this year’s RA Workshop, initially planned in Toulon in the south of France, will be organised for the first time as an e-Workshop. We hope that the online format will allow a large participation to this event with lots of fruitful discussions.

Thematic session: “How to contribute to environmentally sustainable global economic growth?”

During this session, invited experts will present the main challenges related to the environmental impact of production engineering.
