Welcome to GIM
2026 International Conference on Green Intelligent Manufacturing
Countdown to the Conference:
☀ About GIM
Supported by the University of Birmingham, the 2026 International Conference on Green Intelligent Manufacturing (GIM 2026) will be held from July 14–16, 2026 in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
GIM 2026 focuses on sustainable manufacturing and smart production systems. As global industries face increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact while enhancing productivity and resilience, this conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and showcase cutting-edge solutions. The conference will provide an international platform for researchers, engineers and managers to exchange ideas, discuss the latest research, and explore how advanced digitalisation, innovation and sustainable technologies and methods can reshape the future of manufacturing. GIM 2026 will offer participants opportunities to explore and review emerging trends in sustainable and intelligent manufacturing through keynote presentations, technical sessions, and networking events.
We warmly welcome participants from diverse international backgrounds to participate in the conference and benifit from this global exchange of knowledge and collaboration.

☀ Publication
All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by the conference committees. Accepted papers, after registration and presentation, will be published in the Journal of Physics: Conference Series (JPCS) (ISSN:1742-6596), which will be submitted for indexing in EI Compendex and Scopus.
Note: All submitted articles should report original research results, experimental or theoretical, not previously published or under consideration for publication elsewhere. Articles submitted to the conference should meet these criteria. We firmly believe that ethical conduct is the most essential virtue of any academics. Hence, any act of plagiarism or other misconduct is totally unacceptable and cannot be tolerated.
☀ Cooperating Journal
Industries (ISSN 3042-9021) is an international, peer reviewed, open access journal focused on interdisciplinary research bridging industrial engineering, digital technologies, and strategic management. The journal aims to promote sustainable industrial transformation, technology commercialization, and policy-driven innovation, explicitly connecting theoretical rigor with practical applications. This journal publishes original research articles and reviews, but other article types will also be considered. There is no restriction on the maximum length of the manuscripts.
