Materials Engineering and Modern Manufacturing 2026

Kaunas University of Technology presents the International Baltic Conference on Materials Engineering and Modern Manufacturing, to be held on October 21-23, 2026.

The conference fosters meaningful collaboration between academia and industry, driving innovation and advancement in materials science and modern manufacturing technologies.

About conference

About

Join us at the Materials Engineering and Modern Manufacturing Conference, part of the long-standing International Baltic Conference of Engineering Materials and Tribology series, founded in 1991 and organized by researchers from the three Baltic States: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

This event brings together researchers, industry professionals, and innovators to explore the latest advances in engineering materials, surface technologies, and modern manufacturing processes. With a strong focus on innovation and collaboration, the conference provides an excellent platform to present research, exchange ideas, and build networks across academia and industry. Young scientists and PhD students are especially encouraged to participate, share their work, and connect with leading experts in a supportive environment.

Organized every three years, this event serves as a key forum for the dissemination of recent research and expert dialogue among scientists, engineers, and industry leaders from the Baltic region and beyond.
