Regenerative and Intelligent Pathways toward the Twin Transition in Industrial Engineering and Operations Management
Now in its 33rd edition, the International Joint Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management (IJCIEOM) is one of the field's longest-running international meetings — held across Europe and Latin America for more than three decades and bringing together researchers, PhD students and practitioners from around the globe. The 2026 edition alone welcomed delegates from 17 countries.
In 2027 the conference travels to Rio de Janeiro, hosted by PUC-Rio and CEFET/RJ with ABEPRO and international partner associations — IISE (USA), ADINGOR (Spain), AIM (Italy), the Ordem dos Engenheiros (Portugal) and partner universities — under a theme dedicated to regenerative and intelligent pathways: pairing digital transformation with circular, net-zero and human-centric operations, the twin transition at the heart of the field's next decade.
Present and discuss the latest advances with an international peer community.
Accepted, presented papers reach proceedings and selected fast-track journals.
Connect with universities, industry and research centres worldwide.
Dedicated space for PhD students to present and receive feedback.
IJCIEOM 2027 explores how digital intelligence and regenerative, circular practice advance together — building operations that are efficient, sustainable and human-centric.
Circular economy, net-zero strategies and operations that restore rather than deplete.
AI, Industry 4.0/5.0 and data-driven decisions in human-centric production systems.
The joint digital-and-green shift reshaping industrial engineering and operations.
Contributions are welcomed across the breadth of industrial engineering and operations management. Full track descriptions and submission formats will be published with the Call for Papers.

Between the ocean and the mountains, Rio de Janeiro pairs world-class research with one of the most inspiring settings on the planet. The conference is hosted at PUC-Rio in the Gávea district, minutes from the city's beaches and landmarks.
Delegates will find an accessible international hub, a rich cultural programme and a warm welcome from the Brazilian research community.
