• Interdisciplinary engineering and engineering ethics: mechatronics, human-centric design, circular economy, Generation Integrity, responsible engineering practice, cross-domain innovation.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

All manuscripts must present original, unpublished research not under consideration elsewhere. As a condition of submission, the corresponding author must have presented the work at ICMEM 2027. Submitted manuscripts must represent a substantial extension of the conference contribution. For AI/ML-related contributions, the core scientific value must reside in the engineering innovation rather than in the routine application of existing methods. Authors are expected to comply with the standard author guidelines of Results in Engineering.
