AIM & SCOPE OF MIM 2025
Industrial and academic worlds around manufacturing and logistics are facing every day new challenges but also rapid changes in technology developments and business models, like Generative AI, smart robotization & automation, digitalization and data-analytics, advanced simulation, industry 4.0 and 5.0, circular economy, shared economy, and many others, which can help decision makers, practitioners, researchers to find solutions to those challenges.
Whatever trend we are living, we at NTNU – Production Management Research Group & Logistics 4.0 Lab believe that our activities should benefit society as a whole!!! Creative, Critical, Constructive and Respectful are values which guide us towards our vision “Knowledge for a better world”.
This is why the general theme of the 11th IFAC Conference on Manufacturing Modelling, Management and Control (IFAC MIM2025) at NTNU is “Research and Innovation on Manufacturing and Logistics for a better world”.
The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners to present and discuss emerging topics in modern and future manufacturing modeling, management, and control, following a rich tradition of previous IFAC conferences and symposia in manufacturing and logistics.
Through its motto “Be the impact! Make a better world.”, IFAC MIM2025 will focus on the most innovative methods in manufacturing and logistics, with emphasis in how to generate impactful research and innovation for society, with interdisciplinary and innovative methods, cross-sectorial applications, inclusive approaches, engagement, and growth of younger researchers.
In addition to scientific sessions, there will be the opportunity to attend keynote presentations and doctoral workshop, and panel debates, such as “how to fund your research”, “how to publish your research” and also “how to be a good reviewer”. Mentorship program for first attendees and other activities will be part of the social agenda you cannot miss!

Invited session organizers should submit an abstract that summarizes the aim and the content of the invited session. A code will be assigned to such a session.
The invited author should submit their papers by using this code. If at least 5 papers are accepted, the session is included in the conference program as an invited session. If an invited session is not accepted, accepted papers submitted to this session will be included in regular sessions.
Invited sessions, grouped together in a track must be submitted independently. The track chairs are asked to contact the organizers prior to session proposal submissions.
Deadline: 30 September 2024
Call for contributed papers
Authors are invited to submit papers (min 4 pages – max 6 pages) reporting original research of theoretical or applied nature. They can submit a contribution either to an invited session, if it fits with the session, or as regular one.
Post-conference Proceedings will be published in IFAC
-PapersOnLine (Elsevier) with DOI, the articles of Proceedings will be in open access.
IFAC journals and other top journals, such as IJPR, ANOR, IJISM, FLEX will select papers for post- conference publications in regular and special issues.
Deadline: 30 November 2024
Call for extended abstracts
Discussion contributions (extended abstracts) are submitted with the goal of being only presented at the conference, in order to get feedback and generate discussion with participants, without generating a publication.
A document with 1 to 4 pages must be submitted. If accepted, authors can decide whether they want either the document or only an abstract to appear in the conference preprints, in order to make participants aware of the topics to be discussed. These documents will not be included in the official conference proceedings published in IFAC-Papers OnLine.
Deadline: 30 November 2024
