Welcome to the TESConf2026
We are delighted to announce the 13th International Conference on Through-life Engineering Services 2026 (TESConf2026), to be held 24-25 November 2026 at Cranfield University, UK. TESConf2026 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 span the entire asset lifecycle, with particular emphasis on designing and managing assets through-life to improve efficiency, extend service life, and support circularity and sustainability.
