Precision Engineering for Sustainability
2nd-3rd September 2026, Glasgow Caledonian University,
Scotland, UK
euspen is delighted to announce its third Special Interest Conference on Precision Engineering for Sustainability.
Precision machines have long been at the forefront of one industrial revolution after another to enable the turning of ideas into the economical production of physical objects. In all likelihood the emerging Sustainable Revolution could be the start of a new golden age for the planet, humanity, and precision engineering.
Whilst there is no shortage of renewable energy systems available at ever-decreasing costs, a concern is they are not evolving fast enough to help us economically transition to a low carbon economy.
The purpose of this conference is thus to bring together people from academia, industry, and government to share experiences with using precision engineering principles to help develop new ideas and manufacturing systems to reduce production and ownership costs related to realizing a global carbon neutral (or ideally negative) economy.
Areas of interest include automated precision production of components and systems ranging from manufacture of solar cells and panels to their installation and maintenance; to ever larger wind turbines on and offshore including in-situ manufacturing of ever larger elements; to energy storage systems from batteries to hydro power systems.
We are seeking contributions in Precision Engineering for Sustainability and their production in the following general categories, however these are not exclusive:-
1. Energy storage
2. Renewable energy generating machines
3. Circular economy (Design for (re-)manufacturing and recycling)
4. Green hydrogen & machine measurement
5. Manufacturing machine tool efficiency (Energy efficiency)
6. Waste processing
For each of these areas, how can production and quality be increased while lowering costs and increasing quality? Can precision production methods from other industries be of help for the topics above?
Key Dates:
8th June 2026 : Short abstract submission deadline
13th July 2026 : Extended abstract submission deadline
24th August 2026 : Notification of presentation acceptance (oral/poster)
24th August 2026 : Registration opens

Submissions
We are passionate about attracting everyone to this event. As such we are being flexible on your submission for this event and accepting different variations to encourage as many submissions as possible.
Short abstracts/Extended abstracts: Abstracts are expected to describe original work, previously unpublished and should indicate new and significant advances and their importance. Short abstracts should be around 300 – 400 words in length using the template provided. Extended abstracts can be 2 or 4 pages long and you should use the template provided.
PowerPoint slide(s): One/two slides which summarises your current research.
Position paper: A text that presents an arguable opinion about an issue (sustainability in PE) – typically that of the author or specified entity. Position papers are published in academia, and other domains.
The invitation to submit does not constitute an offer to pay travel, accommodation or registration costs associated with the conference. Similarly, no speaker fee is paid to successful participants. All speakers must register for the conference and transfer registration fee. In specific cases the organising committee reserves the right to deviate from the standard procedure.
