WORKSHOPS
Towards Energy Efficient Manufacturing
Led by: Andreas Wachter
One aspect of advanced manufacturing systems and an essential key factor on the road to a sustainable industrial production is the efficient use of resources and energy. However, reality shows that potentials for energy efficiency often remain unutilised - with consequences such as higher energy costs, lower competitiveness and additional greenhouse gas emissions. In order to counteract this, this workshop is intended to offer young engineers an introduction to the field of energy-efficient production and raise awareness of potential in their own (future) work environment. The technical insight into the topic is supplemented practical examples and tips on how to implement efficiency measures successfully.
Reflections from COP29 – Youth Shaping Global Climate Action
Led by: Samrudhi Inamdar
As the world continues to grapple with the urgent demands of climate change, COP29 served as a pivotal moment in global negotiations, bringing together world leaders, youth delegates, and experts to shape the future of our planet. This panel will spotlight young professionals and changemakers who participated in COP29, offering a behind-the-scenes view of negotiations, key takeaways, and their hopes for future climate action.
This session will explore:
-
Youth engagement and impact at COP29
-
Reflections on negotiations around climate finance, just energy transition, and loss & damage
-
Opportunities and challenges for young engineers and climate professionals
-
Lessons for translating COP-level outcomes into local and sectoral actions
The panel aims to connect climate diplomacy to real-world action, showing how youth voices are not only present but powerful in driving systemic change.
