2026 Event Agenda Sessions
Sustainability Engineering: Designing for Circularity in Electrical Systems
- EU regulation is moving fast, demanding durability, repairability, and recyclability by design - circularity can no longer be an afterthought, so what skills do young engineers need to develop?
- A deep dive into the specific challenges the industry needs future engineers to solve: rare earths in permanent magnets, complex composites in power electronics, and long-life assets like transformer cores that outlast the insulation around them.
- What does circularity look like as a practical engineering discipline, not just a compliance exercise?
