About CREAM 5.0

CREAM 5.0 is an international conference co-organized by the CREAM 5.0 consortium of the T.I.M.E. association, in Mons, Belgium on April 29, 2026. The format is in-person only.

The first edition of the Collaborative Research and Education for Asset Management 5.0 (CREAM 5.0) conference brings together researchers, educators, and industry practitioners to explore the evolving landscape of asset management within Industry 5.0.

Industry 5.0, as defined by the European Commission, represents a paradigm shift toward sustainable, resilient, and human-centered industrial practices. CREAM 5.0 focuses on both cutting-edge research developments and educational approaches that prepare the workforce for this transformation.

This conference uniquely welcomes contributions from both academic researchers and industrial practitioners, fostering a collaborative environment where theory meets practice in addressing real-world asset management challenges.
