About the Conference
Saint Barbara is the patron saint of foundry workers. Every year, her name day provides the occasion to address current key topics in foundry research. On 26 November 2026, the foundry industry will gather at Fraunhofer IGCV for the traditional Bavarian Barbara Conference.
Under the motto “Perspective Casting: Materials, Processes and Products”, speakers from KNDS, Volkswagen and Diehl will talk about steel casting, aluminium casting and alloys free of lead. A research marketplace and the traditional foundry evening round off the programme.
