2024 European Committee
At CARES, we’re assembling a distinguished committee comprised of industry luminaries, sustainability pioneers, and thought leaders who are passionately committed to driving positive change.
Our committee members bring a wealth of expertise and diverse perspectives to the table, representing a spectrum of disciplines ranging from automotive engineering and environmental science to policy advocacy and corporate sustainability. Through their collective wisdom and visionary leadership, they are shaping the trajectory of our industry towards a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future.
As we continue to build our committee, stay tuned for updates on our esteemed members, their contributions, and the impactful initiatives they champion. Together, we’re harnessing the power of collaboration to drive innovation, foster sustainability, and pave the way for a brighter tomorrow in automotive manufacturing.
Our commitee serve as the guiding force behind the selection of papers and speakers for our congress. With their extensive knowledge, experience, and dedication to sustainability in automotive manufacturing, our committee members meticulously curate a lineup of presentations that showcase the latest advancements, innovative solutions, and thought-provoking insights in the field.
Their role extends beyond mere selection; they serve as stewards of excellence, ensuring that each paper chosen reflects the highest standards of quality, relevance, and impact. Through their discerning eye and collaborative approach, they shape the agenda of the congress to inspire, educate, and catalyze meaningful change within the industry.
