Mechatronic Talks 2024

An International Showcase of Cutting-Edge Research by Doctoral Students in Mechatronics

Welcome to Mechatronic Talks 2024!

Mechatronic Talks is an international meeting of doctoral students organized by the PhD Program in Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Málaga. This event provides a platform for PhD students to share their research interests and findings through five-minute talks and a poster exhibition.

Event Details:

• Date and Venue: Mechatronic Talks will take place on July 15, 2024, at the Escuela de Ingenierías Industriales, Universidad de Málaga.
• Registration and Abstract Submission: The deadline for registration and abstract submission is June 30th. While submission is recommended for students who have been in the program for more than a year, it is open to all doctoral students. The submission form will be available on this website in the coming days.
• Virtual Participation: Virtual online sessions will be available for students who are not in Málaga.
• Free Registration: Registration is free for both attendees and speakers. We invite anyone interested in discovering the latest advancements in Mechatronics at the University of Málaga to attend, regardless of their affiliation with the program.
• Certificates and Evaluation: Speakers will receive a certificate. Participation in this event will be considered in the annual evaluation of doctoral students. Special mentions will be awarded for the best presentations and posters in each research line, with the possibility of media coverage for the research.
