Programme published: The 27th International Dresden Lightweight Engineering Symposium presents eight exciting sessions

In an era characterized by dynamically developing economic markets and an increasing need for sustainable developments, more than 350 international experts from the scientific, industrial and political sectors will meet on June 13 and 14, 2024. The Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology at TU Dresden and Talent Saxony GmbH will present both Europe and India as leading players in the global market for lightweight engineering at the International Dresden Lightweight Engineering Symposium. Under the motto "Neutral Lightweight Engineering - Resilience through Technology Sovereignty", a powerful forum for groundbreaking discussions and joint measures to shape a future-oriented lightweight engineering industry will be created. The symposium emphasizes the urgency of innovations in materials, technologies and systems in the face of progressive megatrends such as digitalization, sustainability, urbanization, connectivity and mobility. In this context, lightweight system engineering plays a decisive role in meeting the needs of a constantly growing world population.

This year's partner country of the International Dresden Lightweight Engineering Symposium is the most populous country in the world: India. It presents itself as an attractive center for research and development in the field of composite materials. The country addresses global problems such as sustainable mobility and energy production in a growing and prospering population. Despite facing enormous challenges in terms of air and water pollution as an emerging economy, India is taking steps to address these very issues. One concrete way to reduce environmental pollution is the use of lightweight engineering methods, which will be presented and discussed at the symposium. India's growing presence in the global sustainability discourse underlines its willingness to develop innovative initiatives and take on challenging tasks. India, therefore, plays a crucial role in fostering dialog and collaboration among global leaders in the field of lightweighting.

With eight captivating sessions, the 27^th Dresden International Lightweight Engineering Symposium offers a comprehensive insight into the entire lightweight development chain. Experience exciting topics such as"New Challenges in advanced lightweight applications" and "Innovative system solutions through function integration".
