Global GIGA-Casting Congress 2027: Foundry Technology department invites you to the international congress and call for papers

Following the successful premiere in 2025, the Department of Casting Technology (GTK) at the University of Kassel is organizing the second "Global GIGA-Casting Congress" on 10 and 11 March 2027. The international congress offers researchers and industry representatives a platform to exchange ideas on future-oriented die casting technologies and is currently calling for submissions of technical papers and registration for the accompanying industrial exhibition.

The "Global GIGA-Casting Congress" is aimed at an international audience of experts and focuses on current developments and applications that will significantly shape the future of die casting and the automotive industry. The two-day event will focus on the strategies of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers as well as innovative concepts for vehicle designs, high-pressure die casting (HPDC) systems and tools. In addition, specific topics such as alloy development, component treatment, simulation, thixomolding and current research data will be highlighted.

Call for Papers: Scientific and industrial expertise The GTK department invites experts from science and industry to actively contribute to the program. Contributions on innovative solutions, processes or alloys in giga-casting can be submitted as part of the "Call for Papers". Specialist presentations lasting 25 minutes are planned, in which research results, best practice examples or implementation experiences are presented. Interested persons can submit a one-page abstract (one-pager) for review.

Trade exhibition and sponsoring Parallel to the lecture program, the congress offers an exhibition area. Companies will have the opportunity to present their latest technologies and processes to a focused international audience of experts. In addition, various sponsoring formats are available to position yourself in the university and industrial environment of industry pioneers and to promote the transfer of knowledge between universities and industry.

All detailed information on the main topics, the exact deadlines for the "Call for Papers" and the modalities for exhibitors and sponsors can be found on the official event website of the Foundry Technology department.
