CIRP School
Initiated and supported by the president of the CIRP, professor Fengzhou Fang, and coordinated by the CIRP School task force (professors A. Balsamo, B. Cheung, F. Fang, R. Gao, N. Michailidis, L. Settineri, and K. Wegener), the CIRP School series continues with its second edition hosted by Politecnico di Torino, with academic coordination by professors Luca Settineri and Paolo C. Priarone.
The 2nd CIRP School will focus on the theme of “Manufacturing for Sustainability”, which aligns with CIRP’s mission to advance manufacturing for environmentally sustainable global prosperity and societal well-being.
The programme addresses the need for interdisciplinary approaches and multi-level, multi-system analysis to deal with the complexity of modern sustainable manufacturing.
It will explore the integration of engineering, environmental science, systems thinking, and digital technologies to reduce resource consumption and environmental impact across the product and process lifecycle. The 5-day course combines lectures, hands-on sessions, and technical visits, offering participants both conceptual frameworks and practical tools.
Topics include life cycle assessment, circular economy principles, energy/resource-efficient production, and enabling technologies such as digital twins, data analytics, and process simulation.
This edition is open to PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, Research Affiliates and industry professionals with interests in sustainable manufacturing.
Participants will engage with international experts and peers in an intensive and collaborative environment.
The CIRP School will feature:
Participants will visit the following facilities within and around Politecnico di Torino:
