Peter Scharff
In 2017, the Ilmenau Scientific Colloquium is again organised by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The title of this year’s conference „Engineering for a Changing World” refers to limited natural resources of our planet, to massive changes in cooperation between continents, countries, institutions and people – enabled by the increased implementation of information technology as the probably most dominant driver in many fields. The Colloquium, complemented by workshops, is characterised by the following topics, but not limited to them:
– Precision Engineering and Metrology
– Industry 4.0 and Digitalisation in Mechanical Engineering
– Mechatronics, Biomechatronics and Mechanism Technology
– Systems Technology
– Innovative Metallic Materials
The topics are oriented on key strategic aspects of research and teaching in Mechanical Engineering at our university.
