From 24-25 November 2026, CIRMA 2026 brings together leading researchers, automotive OEMs, suppliers, start-ups, and sustainability experts to accelerate the transition toward circular materials and mobility systems.
The conference bridges academic innovation with industrial implementation by fostering collaboration across the full automotive value chain.
About the conference
CIRMA 2026 is the second edition of the international conference series organised under the ZEvRA project (Horizon Europe, Grant Agreement No. 101138034). It takes place at the iconic Gläserne Manufaktur in Dresden, Volkswagen’s glass factory and a landmark of sustainable automotive manufacturing.
The event will feature technical paper presentations, industrial demonstrators, interactive workshops, innovation pitches, and networking sessions, providing a platform to discuss emerging technologies and circular design strategies in mobility systems.
Selected contributions will be published in peer-reviewed conference proceedings (Springer Nature), with opportunities for journal special issue publication after the conference.
