The International Conference on Through-life Engineering Services (TESConf 2020) brings together academia and industry to deliver engineering solutions for the life of complex and long-life assets. This blends research and industrial solutions related to processes and methods that can optimise the value and cost in-use.
The topics will explore functionality, performance, reliability and availability as well as cost in-use for long-life engineering assets, such as planes, ships, land-based vehicles, power plants, heavy machinery and buildings. The research streams cut across the entire life cycle with an emphasis on understanding the through-life implications. The overview below breaks down the areas and topics that will be covered in TESConf 2020:

Full papers and extended abstracts
The TESConf 2020 organising committee invites you to present scientific results and engineering solutions for assessing and assuring the life of complex and long-life assets. To deliver an oral presentation at the conference, all contributions are required to have either an extended abstract or full paper accepted. Full papers will undergo peer reviewing prior to being accepted for publication in Procedia Manufacturing. Accepted extended abstracts will not require a full paper, but an oral presentation will need to be delivered at the conference. Selected papers may be published after further extensive improvement as a special scientific journal issue.

Academic session
We also welcome academic experts to host scientific sessions within the conference. To host a session, please send us a proposal using the provided template (max. 500 words) covering the title, chair and topic area. Templates for the proposal can be downloaded from the conference website under the submissions tab.
Industry workshops
There will be multiple industry workshops during the conference spanning many topics, including digital service engineering, repair technologies for advanced materials/composites, degradation assessment using non-destructive testing, diagnostics, prognostics and health monitoring, to name a few.
Call for industrial exhibition
Organisations around the world are invited to book a stand to exhibit their products and services in through-life engineering services. The conference will allow the organisations to showcase their exhibits in front of their potential customers and network with world-class academics for future collaboration.
Submission
Please note: The invitation to submit an abstract does not constitute an offer to pay travel, accommodation or registration costs associated with the conference. Similarly, no speaker fee is paid to successful participants. All speakers must register for the conference and forward the appropriate registration fee. In specific cases the organisation reserves the right to deviate from the foregoing.
