We are pleased to invite you to an interdisciplinary symposium exploring the pivotal role of Materials Science and Technology and Systems Engineering in advancing sustainability and the circular economy. As industries and societies strive to reduce environmental impact and close material loops, innovative research for new materials and systems is more important than ever.

This symposium will bring together researchers, engineers, and industry experts to share insights, present cutting-edge developments, and foster collaboration across disciplines. Join us as we explore how materials innovation can drive the transition toward a more sustainable and circular future.

The symposium is divided into the following 5 topics - registrations for oral presentations and posters are welcome:

• Sustainable Metallurgy: Pathways for Circular Material Systems

• Technological Frontiers in Recycling for Circular Materials

• Computational Methods for Circular Materials and Systems

• Smart and Sustainable: Functional Materials for Circular Systems

• Design for Circularity

On behalf of the Departments of Materials Science and Technology (MWWT) and Systems Engineering, we look forward to your contributions and a lively scientific exchange.
