20 October 2026
Manufacturing Technology Centre, Coventry, UK
Registration is now open:Register: HERE
The purpose is to generate a document that captures the requirements of conditions and actions that will enable the faster adoption of SHM technology in the future.
This workshop aims to receive input from all stakeholders (end-users, equipment manufacturers, regulators, insurers and other interested parties) to point out actions and roadmaps that enable overcoming the challenges and highlighting the benefits that adoption of SHM technology can bring in the future.
We would appreciate all those interested in the future of SHM taking a few minutes to complete the Accelerating Adoption of SHM survey (this should take no more than three to five minutes of your time to complete), which will assist us in planning the agenda and focusing the discussion, even if you are unable to attend the Workshop – scan the QR code or visit:
