Organized by the University of Kentucky, this year's event will bring together nationally and internationally known experts in sustainable manufacturing from industry, academia and federal agencies to examine advances in sustainable manufacturing at the product, process and systems (including supply-chain) levels. This highly focused event will provide a unique opportunity to foster close interactions and communication between academic researchers, industry professionals and students engaged research and promoting the practice of sustainable manufacturing.

This year's theme for the IFSM is 'Sustainable Manufacturing in the Industry 4.0'. As in previous years we invite tenure-track Assistant Professors engaged in research on related topics to submit abstract for the 'Emerging Researcher Showcase'. Travel expenses (registration, hotel and travel expenses) up to $1,200 will be covered for those selected to present through a National Science Foundation grant. Applicants must be affiliated with a university in the United States to be eligible to receive this award. Post-doctoral researchers and other early-career research professionals are also encouraged to apply and will be offered travel grants based on availability of funds.
