The aim of the Forum was to answer the following questions:
- How about the development of the products?
- In which cases is it necessary to have development also spread over the different markets?
- In which cases will a centralized development from the home country work well?
IFME 2008
IFME 2008 was held in Cherbourg, France. The Forum theme was "Quality, Security and Environment in Mechanical Engineering: knowledge and innovation".
IFME 2007
The Second IFME was in Dornbirn, Austria. The Forum theme was "Meeting the Challenges of the Globalized Engineering Industry". The Forum was organized by and held at Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences, November 29 – December 1.
Aim was to contribute to the development of both the engineering industry and engineering education by addressing the future needs of these two sectors. Companies demonstrated engineering methods and processes, with a focus on both new technologies and current and future challenges in development and production systems. Universities presented the concepts, processes and results of their didactic development initiatives, and showed how these innovations help to prepare students for work in globalized engineering professions.
IFME 2006
The 1st International Forum of Mechanical Engineering was held in Jyväskylä, Finland. The Forum was held from 30 November to 2 December at Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences. The Forum theme was "China Way or Our Way?".
The purpose of the Forum was to review and find solutions for
