The first International Europe-Africa Workshop on Remanufacturing is seeking to highlight the state-of-the-art of remanufacturing in both Europe and Africa. It brings together global North and South experts, researchers and practitioners to explore remanufacturing innovations and collaborations. In the quest for sustainability, Europe lacks raw material resource and thus must determine avenues to maintain its manufacturing base by doing more with less while Africa must industrialise with minimum resource use whilst also reducing its existing manufacturing-related environmental issues. Remanufacturing is a high-impact solution but is under-utilised, forming less than 2% of production in comparison to the 98% of the unsustainable conventional manufacturing.
Emerging technologies can enhance efficiency, capacity and scalability to mainstream remanufacturing. Sustainability is a global concern but efforts to fuse the expertise and needs of the global North and South to obtain viable local and global solutions is lacking. Africa’s involvement has been overlooked, with the continent largely perceived as a bystander and recipient of potential solutions which are detached and unfit. Meanwhile, sustainability is unattainable without effective global cooperation and coordination.
Scope & Audience
Academic and research institutions, industry and persons concerned with the challenges and significance of remanufacturing as a pillar for global sustainability such as, but not limited to:
- Engineers interested in remanufacturing strategy, technique, and technology;
- Business leaders, decision-makers and policymakers, operating within the general reuse and conventional manufacturing environments;
- Researchers interested in the environmental dimensions or implications of remanufacturing;
- Management scholars interested in remanufacturing from the operations perspective (e.g., modelling of reverse supply chains).

The International Conference on Industry of the Future and Smart Manufacturing (ISM) is a yearly open forum fostering the smart culture and exploring the transformative impact of digital technologies characterizing the fourth industrial revolution across the full breadth of economic sectors.
The manufacturing community is leading a series of world-class breakthroughs driven by the convergence of physical and digital spaces, operational excellence and human–automation symbiosis that are intimately impacting the profile and behavior of socio-technical ecosystems at all levels of public and private sectors.
To support this transition, ISM promotes the cross-fertilization of multidisciplinary knowledge, bringing together a global community of eminent academics, research innovators, professionals, leaders and policymakers committed to building more efficient, agile, safe, sustainable and ethical systems; encourages the dissemination of the latest scientific advances, research results and industrial stories to strengthen the theoretical base of Industry 4.0/5.0; and provides a stimulating ground for business-to-science cooperation opportunities.

The series of annual ARCI Winter IFSA conferences have been launched to provide a forum for open discussion of state-of-the-art technologies related to control, automation, robotics, communication and data analysis—the main components of Industry 4.0—and the new, emerging technologies of Industry 5.0. The ARCI’ 2027 conference will incorporate four symposiums covering research and development across the fields of automation, robotics, communication and data analysis and united by the Industry 4.0/5.0/6.0 challenges. The ARCI’ 2027 conference is organized by the IFSA—one of the major professional, non-profit associations serving the sensor industry and academy since 1999.
Main Topics:
Industry 4.0/5.0/6.0;
Automation;
Robotics;
Communications.
