The wide-spread use of new methods, digital tools and systems is fundamentally changing production and logistics. In order to respond to this change with innovative, practical digitisation solutions, ESB Business School at Reutlingen University is organising the 13th Conference on Learning Factories 2026 (CLF), which will be held from the 9th - 11th of May 2026.

In order to attract students to pursue a scientific career and expose them to the scientific community, in addition to the regular scientific tracks a dedicated student track is being planned the first time for CLF 2026. Therefore we cordially invite graduate students to submit academic student papers related to the topics listed below.
