The euspen international conference complies with international VAT/IVA/VAT MOSS rules and as such the relevant Standard VAT rates dependent upon your Country (UK or EU) will be applied to delegate registration invoices. You should read the following rules and select the appropriate registration form.
Select Physical Registration A if any of the following applies:-
- You are based within the UK or Europe
- You are a private individual or organisation/business
- You are representing a European company (whether you are VAT/IVA registered or not)
- This form will apply 25% Danish VAT in accordance with advice from the Danish VAT authorities
Select Physical Registration B if any of the following applies:-
- You are representing a business/organisation outside Europe
- This form does not apply VAT. This is in accordance with VAT exempt rules.
The Precision Engineering community is quite small and the euspen annual event is a great way to make and maintain contact with world-leading experts in the field, many of whom offer highly relevant tutorial sessions at the conferences. We at Cranfield Precision specialise in the design and manufacture of high precision machine systems, it would be unthinkable for us not to take advantage of the technical program, networking and educational opportunities on offer at euspen conferences. Since around 2011, we have been exhibitors at the annual conference exhibition, we have found this to be an excellent way of making contact with new and existing customers. We can trace the initial contact made with many of our current and past customers back to the euspen conference and exhibition, so the cost of attending and exhibiting has paid for itself many times over.
With over 400 attendees focused on precision engineering, exhibiting at the Annual Conference & exhibition organised by euspen is vital to getting our message to the right people. The ultimate benefit to attending is the people you meet. Networking with industry experts willing to discuss ideas and offer suggestions to those difficult projects waiting for you back home. These conversations lead to treasured relationships with talented precision engineers you can consult when difficult questions arise.

Designing for sustainability via science-based decision support: charting a path for engineering designers
It is no longer a question, for most, that sustainability is one of the largest challenges of our time. Global recognition of the need for sustainability transition has never been stronger and it is now possible to find agreement and commitments at global, regional, societal and company levels, towards at least some of the highly needed goals and targets to reduce mankind’s environmental footprint on the globe and its surrounding atmosphere.
To develop a sustainable society, we must satisfy the needs of current and coming generations within the operating spaces defined by the tolerance limits of our planet and its ecosystems. This calls for the development of solutions that: radically reduce our generation of climate burdening gases; decouple value creation from resource consumption; strive to eliminate the toxicity stress induced on our land, waterways and material cycles; and that address the accelerating crisis of biodiversity loss.
Technology – and the design of the same – can play a prominent role in enabling sustainability transition, but how to choose today, the correct technologies of tomorrow? Only by combining the wisdom of a systemic understanding of the problems and solutions of today, with systematic and strategic approaches towards sustainability transition, do we stand a chance of succeeding with the audacious sustainability goals that are emerging in these years.
And the role of the designer? This is huge. The engineering designer can orchestrate the transition from analysis to synthesis, forming accounts of the present into the concepts of the future. The engineering designer must operate on all levels, from materials, through components and products, all the way to the complex infrastructural systems. And the engineering designer must make choices of sustainability strategy, contextual tactics and operational tools.
This keynote will help to understand the sustainability needs of our time, seen from the lens of the engineering designer. It will highlight the science-based approaches under development, with pointers to their potential. And it will show examples of how design is already contributing to sustainability solutions, today. Finally, speculation will be made, as to which areas we are currently lacking, with respect to research and concerted action, to achieve the sustainability balance necessary to support life within acceptable planetary limits.

Topology optimization in mechanical design
Topology Optimization (TO) as an inverse design tool in mechanical design has developed tremendously over the last decades. This progress has, a.o., been fueled by the developments in additive manufacturing (AM). TO and AM complement each other perfectly, with TO delivering complex and efficient designs that take advantage of the geometrical freedom provided by AM.
The talk will give an overview of the TO field and its recent developments, a.o. taking advantage of advanced infill capabilities provided by AM processes. Then it will proceed to discuss the use of TO for generating tailored force-displacement responses for multi-material compliant mechanisms and metamaterials including self-contact.

Photonic metasurfaces for precision metrology – A perspective
Metasurfaces, artificially structured surfaces covered in sub-wavelength elements, provide a way in which amplitude, phase, and polarisation light can be precisely manipulated, but without the size and weight required by traditional optical components. In addition, metasurfaces can be manufactured on membranes or thin substrates and by modifying the size and shape of the individual elements across a surface, different functionalities can be realised.
This talk will report on recent developments of metasurfaces for precision metrology applications and outline how photonic metasurfaces have the potential to revolutionise optical sensor technology by supporting sensor integration through miniaturisation and enhanced functionality. Finally, we discuss some of the challenges for harnessing photonic metasurface as engineered components in real-world systems and articulate the research challenges and opportunities for future precision metrology.
