Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure and privilege to invite you to participate in the 2nd International Conference on New Research and Development in Technical and Natural Science, ICNRDTNS. The conference will take place in Radenci, Slovenia, from the 22. to the 24. September 2021.
Taking into account the threat from the COVID-19 pandemic ICNRDTNS 2021 will be organized as a Hybrid Convention. This means that the implementation of all program elements is carried out physically and virtually (online), depending on the pandemic situation and the possibilities and requirements of the participants. ICNRDTNS will ensure secure physical conditions and availability to virtual presence, through advanced communications, collaboration and interaction on hybrid conference platform.
So far, many countries have either confirmed participation or intent to participate.
The first bioclimate health resort in Slovenia, featuring springs of mineral and thermal Radenska water, invites relaxation that will boost your health and well-being. Numerous regular guests are loyal to this health resort with a big heart.
The conference venue is the hotel Radin.
The PROGRAMME of ICNRDTNS includes plenary sessions, core dialogues, debates, discovery demos, knowledge exchange sessions, knowledge factories, networking meet-ups, panel talks and poster presentations on specific topics and informal networking opportunities in which practitioners share their experiences, ideas, new information and perspectives.
In the EXHIBITION AREA of ICNRDTNS, leading international manufacturers, suppliers and service providers present their latest products and services. Most participants see the exhibition as an important meeting point for professional interaction and networking within the conference.
Information and directions on registration, payment, abstract and manuscript submission, hotel booking and local transportation is available here on the official website forthe ICNRDTNS.
For further questions contact us by e-mail.

Associate Professor
Institute of Manufacturing Science
Assoc. Prof. Gyula Varga is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Manufacturing Science, University of Miskolc, Hungary. He was graduated at University of Miskolc, Hungary (1979), as a mechanical engineer, and then he got his PhD degree at the same University (1996). In the first 2 years of his professional carrier he worked as a scientific scholarship trainee at the Department of Mechanics at University of Miskolc. His research field was the FEM analysis of double curved shell elements. Then he worked for the Research Institute for Combustion Technology from 1981 till 1990 as a research assistant and senior researcher. He performed his activity in the fields of combustion theory, analysis of heat transfer, design of different industrial gas burners, among them one was patented with two co-authors. From 1990 he works for the Department of Production Engineering (its name now Institute of Manufacturing Science) as assistant lecturer later senior lecturer and from 1997 associate professor. In the meanwhile, he got a four month “Excalibur scholarship” at University of Manchester Institution Science and Technology (UMIST) in Manchester, UK in 1993. He got the Szechenyi Istvan scholarship in between 2002 – 2005. He participated also in number of industrial R&D projects dealing with different problems of production engineering. His main research field is the examination of environmentally conscious machining, and theoretical and experimental investigation of the technology of diamond burnishing. The number of my publication on his research field is more than 240.

He also gives lectures at Slovak University of Technology and is supervisor and consultant for Ph.D., master and bachelor studies.
Dr. Cristiano Fragassa, PhD
Assistant Professor
M.Sc. in Nuclear Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering of Materials at the University of Bologna, he has been assuming several roles inside this and other Higher Education Institutions in Europe.
In his actual position of Assistant Professor in Bologna, he performed an intense teaching activity in courses related to topics of Industrial Engineering as Engineering of industrial products; Advanced techniques for Design of Machines; Elements of Design of Machines; Security and Reliability of Mechanical Systems; Functional and Aesthetical Design of Systems.
As Contract Professor, he also performed part of courses in other Universities as Reggio Emilia, Belgrade, Kragujevac (Serbia), Rijeka (Croatia).
He has been implemening a constant research activity mainly focused on Innovative Materials at both levels of scientific investigations and industrial innovation. Author of more than one hundred contributions as scientific papers and industrial memories. He participated to more than 60 congresses and workshops all over the World, including 12 invited lectures.
He has been very active in Transfer of Technology actions toward enterprises, also holding several training courses in specific industrial sectors.
Adding, he has been assuring a continuous action in fund raising and in project management within national and EU funded research/collaborative projects. He took relevant parts (as coordinator, supervisor, main investigator, etc.) in more than 25 projects. Specifically, referring to the topic of employability, he was the coordinator of “ATC Serbija”, an EU Regional Development project, where a didactical laboratory for life-long learning was established in the centre of Western Balkan in the business area of automotive. Its aim was to support on-the-job training and fast employment of more than 100 secondary students and unemployed technicians.
