Abstract: Much has changed since the pandemic, not least the continuing widespread disruptions in international trade and the public’s appreciation of the role of global supply chains. Manufacturing companies are reviewing their international supply, manufacturing, and distribution networks, and in doing so, more factors than ever before are being considered. For example, the perspectives of risk and resilience and the balance between global and local supply chains are included to a much greater extent than before the pandemic. Such considerations raise new questions and options for design and management of plants and networks. We will highlight various aspects of the design and redesign of international manufacturing networks, such as the relationship between plants and networks, the role of the customer order decoupling point, offshoring versus reshoring as options for manufacturing relocations, and resilience.

Abstract: On this presentation, the new European Digital Infrastructure Consortiums (EDCIs) and their initial launch will be presented as a key enabler for Collaborative Networks. EDICs are the brand new administrative procedure by the European Commission to foster cooperation at the European Union level. Selected policy objectives will be deployed in a harmonious, inclusive, and sustainable way, through a purposely coordinated joint governance. Specifically the Smart Communities federation of data and digital services will be collaboratively co-designed for advanced digital twinning towards the citizen virtual participation (CitiVERSE).

Abstract: In the global complex world, manufacturing is facing relevant challenges. Like most of the human activities, manufacturing is asked to provide its contribution to the continuous evolution of our modern times, becoming more sustainable (mainly reshaping its linear model to a more circular one) and taking the leap (with all the opportunities and all the risks) of the digital transformation. This double (or twin) transition is in some way mandatory for all the manufacturing “economic actors”, from companies to single operators, from production chains to global services, from geographical territories to countries.
In this presentation, we would like: (i) to give a name to such challenges, (ii) to identify some of the paths which manufacturing should / could take, (iii) to investigate the intertwined connections of the mutual transitions currently on place (or next to be).
Presenting case studies from the practice as well as some foreground works from the research (mainly from EU research projects), we would then provide our contribution and point of view on the main discussion about the future of manufacturing.

Wednesday, 27 September, 19:30 – 22:30
Before the reception, there will be a tourist visit through the city centre with an approximate duration of 1 hour and 40 minutes. It will be a walking tour where the guides will show us the most remarkable aspects of the ancient city of Valencia. Transport to the centre will be provided from the UPV. There will be 2 buses at the UPV gate L at 19:00, which will go directly to the meeting point. The meeting point at 19:30 will be at the main door of “Ayuntamiento de Valencia” for attendees who come by their means.
The guided tour will end around 21:00 hours in the place where we will hold the reception and welcome, “La Beneficència”.
The Center Museístic La Beneficència (Calle de la Corona, nº 36, Valencia) is a building that has had different uses throughout its history. It began as a convent at the beginning of the 16th century and was a House of Charity since the mid-19th century, where orphans and beggars were helped and prepared for the world of work. With the democracy, it became a museum centre that houses two of the most important museums in the city: the Museu de Prehistòria de València (founded in 1927) and the Museu Valencià Etnologia (created in 1983). Other institutions of the Diputació de València, the Alfons el Magnànim Institution and the Servici Assistència i Recursos Culturals (SARC) are also located there. The architecture of the building stands out for the old chapel, the current Alfons El Magnànim assembly hall, its patios and the maintained vegetation.
Thursday, 28 September, – 21:00
The Conference dinner will take place in Valencia’s Oceanogràfic – Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (Calle d’Eduardo Primo Yúfera, 1B 46013 València). Dinner will be served in a specially designated room within the exhibition grounds. We will be surrounded by aquariums with very colourful and attractive environments.
Important: The Oceanogràfic has a restaurant, but dinner is not in this restaurant. Dinner is inside the aquarium itself, in the oval room. At the entrance to the Oceanogràfic there will be a person who will accompany you to the room.
