The International Conference on Mechanical Engineering and Sustainable Technologies (ICMEST 2026) is a premier platform for researchers, engineers, academicians, industry professionals, and policymakers to share their latest innovations, research outcomes, and practical experiences in the domains of mechanical engineering and sustainability. Scheduled to take place from March 13 - 15, 2026, at Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology, Sikkim, India. ICMEST 2026 aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration to drive technological advancements that support a sustainable future. As the world grapples with complex environmental challenges, the role of mechanical engineering in achieving sustainability goals has never been more crucial. ICMEST 2026 will focus on cutting-edge research and development in areas such as energy-efficient systems, sustainable manufacturing, renewable energy applications, advanced materials, smart mechanical design, and eco-friendly technologies. The conference provides a vital platform to explore how mechanical innovations can be harnessed to create solutions aligned with global sustainability frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
