International Conference on
Next Gen Mechanical Systems

Smart Vehicles, Sustainable Polymers and Space Innovations

📅 April 23 - 24, 2026

B.S. Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science & Technology

Chennai, India

Conference Theme

ICNGM 2026 is centered on the convergence of transformative technologies shaping the future of engineering and science. As global industries evolve toward smarter, more sustainable, and space-capable systems, the integration of advanced mechanical systems, intelligent vehicles, eco-friendly materials, and space exploration technologies becomes not only desirable—but essential.

This theme emphasizes the importance of synergy across disciplines, where innovations in one field catalyze breakthroughs in others. For example, lightweight sustainable polymers are essential in both automotive design and aerospace engineering, while next-generation mechanical systems are crucial for smart vehicle automation and space mission functionality.

By fostering dialogue between academia, industry, and research organizations, the conference aims to explore how cutting-edge advancements in each domain can be leveraged collectively to build a resilient, intelligent, and sustainable future.
