Mark your calendars on October 5th, 2022, where we will meet up for this year’s second biannual meeting in NEM. This time, we will meet in Denmark, and we are happy to announce that Grundfos will be our host of the day.

We look forward to seeing the facilities at Grundfos and hearing about the organization’s fascinating modularization journey. The program will also feature a keynote speaker, and we will give an update on current and future NEM activities, projects, partnerships with universities and consultants, followed by a give-and-take-session.

Meeting location
Grundfos Center
Poul Due Jensens Vej 23
8850 Bjerringbro
Denmark

Meeting time
October 5, 2022

The conference theme is How product and manufacturing design enable sustainable companies and societies, and we are proud to have two NEM profiles, advisory board member Niels Henrik Mortensen and CEO Christian Eskildsen, featured in the conference program.

About NordDesign 2022
“The early phases of product and manufacturing development significantly influence all key properties within sustainability such as costs, social and environmental impact – the so-called triple bottom line. Many industrial companies are becoming more and more specialized which is necessary to develop and launch competitive products. Thus, decision-making in product and manufacturing development is also becoming more difficult, e.g. which concept to choose? Which technology balance between software/electronics/mechanics is right? And which type of connectivity is relevant in two years from now? Most models that are utilized to support decision-making is only valid in one or few engineering domains. One of the important reasons  for having engineering design research and conferences such as NordDesign 2022 is to develop methods, tools, mindsets and theory that bridge engineering disciplines and thereby can support the early phases.”

The conference is organized by the section of Engineering Design and Product Development at DTU Mechanical.

When and where
August 16 – 18, 2022, online.

Participation fee
250€ (10% discount for Design Society members) + 2 € administration fee

After a very succesful run on the 2021-2022 program, we are happy to announce that a new round of the NEM Modularization Certificate Program will return this Fall. The program consists of three modules of which the first is scheduled to start on September 8, 2022. A brief program description can be found here.

You can register or request a detailed program description by writing us at info@modularization.net.

PAD2022 is a three-day academic course directed by researchers from international universities, this year in collaboration with Volvo.
The course includes workshops on topics such as product architecture, modularity, and sustainability , and also offers the potential to explore new research fields and network with peers.

PAD2022 is primarily intended for young scientists and post-graduate students who are currently doing research in the field of methodical product development with focus on product architectures and modularity but is open for a limited number of industry participants.

When and where:
June 20-23, 2022, at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden

Participation fee:
250 € per industry participant

See the full program and find application information here.

On February 23^rd, we will explore modularization approaches by consultancy firms and the link between modular strategies and increased competitiveness.

At the conference you will meet representatives from Modular Management (S), CPC – Center for Product Customization (DK), Brick Strategy (S), Schuh & Co, and Porsche Consulting (D), who will share their perspectives on and experiences with modularization in practice. Our speakers and their respective consultancies all have extensive experience with operating in and servicing customers from the northern European industrial sector. 

The conference is the first of its kind in Northern Europe to assess the interplay between consultancies and modularization
