EcoDesign 2023
13th International Symposium on
Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing- EcoDesign with Art, Science and Technology -Nara Prefectural Convention
Center, Nara, Japan
November 29 - December 1, 2023
We are pleased to announce that the 13th International Symposium on
Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing(EcoDesign 2023) will be held in Nara, Japan, on November 29th toDecember 1st in 2023. Since the first EcoDesign symposium in 1999, thissymposium has led the research and practices of environmentallyconscious design of products, services, manufacturing systems, supply
chain, business, and society. Amidst ongoing advancement oftechnologies
andsocialneeds,circumstances
surrounding
EcoDesign are changing. The latest issues on EcoDesign will bediscussed. Professionals and scholars from industry, academia, andgovernment are encouraged to attend. Presentations and events will
be conducted in face-to-face format, with online provision for auditing only.

Call forPapers

EcoDesign 2023 calls for two types papers: proceedings papers and e-bookpapers. Presenters can select the type of paper they submit. All presenters
are required to submit a paper.

Proceedings papers: 2 to 8 pages; Not peer-reviewed(abstract review only); Copyright transfer is not required;
Distributed online, which is delivered only to participants.

E-book papers: 6 to 8 pages; Peer-reviewed (if a paper is not
accepted, it is treated as a proceedings paper); Copyright transfer isrequired; Double posting prohibited; Distributed online; E-bookproceedings will be published by Springer after the symposium.
