Call for Special Sessions

The 2027 8th International Conference on Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering (MSME 2027) will be hosted in Tianjin, China, from April 22 to 24, 2027, which is organized by Tianjin University, co-organized by Dongguan University of Technology, Foshan University, and supported by the Hong Kong Society of Mechanical Engineers (HKSME).

With the theme of "AI‑Driven Materials Discovery and Intelligent Manufacturing", this conference will serve as an international forum for presenting and exchanging technological advances and research results in the broad fields of Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering. It aims to bring together leading researchers, engineers, and scientists from around the world to share the latest research findings and engineering practices, with a special focus on AI applications, green manufacturing, and sustainable materials development in the context of carbon neutrality.

The MSME 2027 organizing committee invites proposals for special sessions. The special sessions will complement the regular program with new or emerging topics of particular interest at specific or cross-levels of abstraction, including state-of-the-art research in both academia and industry in special, novel, challenging, and emerging topics.

Special session proposals should be submitted by the prospective organizer(s) who will commit to promoting and handling the review process of special session as Chair or Co-Chair of the event. One special session lasts 2 hours, which allows 6-10 oral presenters. If the number of presenters is beyond the capacity, parts of them will be arranged to poster sessions. Presenters can submit abstracts for review.
