On 14 and 15 October, the kick-off for the School of Engineering's GRACE research profile on the green transition in the manufacturing industry took place at the University of Jönköping in Sweden, attended by around 55 representatives from science and industry (see photo). The main objective of the project, in which Prof. Kurt Sandkuhl is involved as a member of the scientific expert board, is to shape the transformation to a circular economy and its consequences for production systems, product modularisation, material use, and services. The use of data-driven approaches in design, production, and product utilization (smart products) is very important here.
