The future of building: BAU, the world's leading trade fair for architecture, materials and systems, takes place every two years. Everyone involved in the planning, construction and design of buildings internationally comes together here: Architects, planners, investors, industry and trade representatives, craftsmen and many more. The focus of their interest is on new technologies, new materials and new application possibilities that can be put into practice. Here, visitors can experience the future of construction at first hand. FutureMissionBuilding - affordable.sustainable.safe - innovation impulses for a necessary transformation The special show of the Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance presents innovations in three important transformation areas of construction: Affordability with a view to an urgent increase in productivity based on innovative solutions, productivity gains from digitalization and AI as well as sufficiency in the sense of a building type “E”. CO2-negative processes and building materials of a carbon capture usability strategy as well as energy-positive buildings, districts and cities are the focus of the sustainability exhibits presented. We interpret safety in terms of resilience to climate change with answers to the question of how we can protect our buildings against flooding, heat and extreme weather and at the same time transform the economy into a circular economy through innovative processes and product designs.

Materials for future applications At the core of the MPA seminar’s attention lies the pivotal role of materials, where they confront a host of complex challenges. While steel in various forms as austenitic or martensitic continues to play a crucial role, evolving applications necessitate the use of other materials like nickel-based alloys, titanium and high-strength aluminum. Moreover, the introduction of innovative manufacturing processes enables the design and manufacturing of more complex structures and components and the utilization of a broader spectrum of materials. Nevertheless, the surging costs associated with increasingly precious alloying elements present formidable obstacles. Further challenges include but are not limited to highly flexible load cycles, material behaviour under harsh environments like extremely high and low temperatures as the bevhavior under the influence of media, especially biogas and hydrogen. The performance of materials dominates the performance of the end product, emphasizing the need for efficient resource utilization in their application.

The trend towards reducing the number of individual components in modern car bodies has led to the production of larger and more complex components. Manufacturers are continuously developing existing technologies and introducing new ones, often accompanied using new alloys and materials for car body design. The production of automotive structural components has seen the establishment of temperature-supported forming technologies for sheet metals, in addition to casting technologies for large structural components and the classic cold forming of car body parts. Tailor Welded (TWB) and Tailor Rolled Blanks (TRB) are widely used, and graded properties within a component are increasingly created using patches and locally adapted heat treatment. At the 3 days “4th Executive Summit – Efficient car body parts production from high-performance materials” on October 2nd – 4th, 2024, we will be discussing the new trends with speakers and participants from all over the spectrum. Our speakers range from raw materials suppliers to the OEM’s and any link of the supply chain. As automotive world and supply chain is changing at a very high pace, it is essential to keep up with both the technological and business aspects.

EUSIPCO is the premier European conference on signal processing. The 32nd edition will be held in Lyon, at the Lyon Convention Center, located close to the downtown area, the historic district and the train station. The EUSIPCO 2024 edition will have a specific flavour, with a focus on interdisciplinary research in signal and image processing, geared toward major societal challenges.

ICRT2024 is devoted to provide an international forum for scientists, researchers, and engineers around the world to exchange the knowledge, ideas and experiences in rail transportation planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance. The Second International Conference on Rail Transportation (ICRT2021) was a meaningful innovation. Nearly 300 participants attended the conference on site and almost 10,000 scholars participated in the keynote lectures through the online platform. The participants shared and discussed their latest research results and gained new ideas and methods of rail transportation development. Moreover, the introduction of innovative manufacturing processes enables the design and manufacturing of more complex structures and components and the utilization of a broader spectrum of materials. Nevertheless, the surging costs associated with increasingly precious alloying elements present formidable obstacles. Further challenges include but are not limited to highly flexible load cycles, material behaviour under harsh environments like extremely high and low temperatures as the bevhavior under the influence of media, especially biogas and hydrogen.
