DECODE Workshop 2026

News

Description

As the shift to a circular economy gains momentum, the DECODE Workshop addresses the need for digital foundations that promote sustainability, interoperability, and transparency. Core to this is the Digital Product Passport (DPP)—a digital tool enabling traceability and data sharing across product lifecycles.

This workshop invites original research and position papers on systems, architectures, and standards powering circularity through open digital enablers.
