ICoRSE 2026 Brought Together Researchers from Six Countries in Bucharest for a Dialogue on the Future of Engineering
Researchers, university professors, engineers, and industry representatives from Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, South Africa, and Romania gathered in Bucharest on September 3–4, 2026, for the 6th edition of the International Conference on Reliable Systems Engineering (ICoRSE), organized by the National Institute for Research and Development in Mechatronics and Measurement Technique (INCDMTM). The conference proceedings also featured contributions from other European and Asian countries, presented in poster format. 📚
Now in its sixth edition, the conference was coordinated by dr. Daniela Doina Cioboată, Scientific Director of INCDMTM, together with prof. José Machado from the University of Minho, Portugal.
The scientific program was organized into three sessions, each moderated by a field specialist, covering risk management and performance optimization, advanced manufacturing technologies and materials, and robotics, automation, and intelligent systems. The topics provided a broad overview of current developments in reliable systems engineering, ranging from mechatronics and control systems to artificial intelligence and advanced materials. ⚙️
One of the highlights of this year’s edition was the keynote lecture delivered by Prof. Dawood Ahmed Desai from Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa, entitled “Improving the Fatigue Durability of an Innovative Dental Implant through Laser Shock Peening.” The presentation highlighted the connection between fundamental research and practical applications, addressing a topic with direct relevance to the development of innovative solutions in implantology. 🦷
The conference also received valuable support from the private sector, with Admasys, Agyle, CadWorks, and Nanoteam sponsoring the event. 🤝
This year’s edition placed a strong emphasis on the role of science and international cooperation in a world marked by instability. As Daniela-Doina Cioboată stated: “Research and innovation are not only drivers of technological progress, but also investments in resilience, human development, and the future we envision.”
This idea became, in essence, the common thread running throughout the conference — a space not only for presenting, discussing, and testing ideas, but also for fostering new opportunities for international research collaboration. 🌍🤝💡
