We have chosen the following motto for 2026: „TRIZ ∞: other areas, other methods.“
At this event, we want to offer a platform for TRIZ-related contributions from the industrial and academic sectors, which will also be published (Springer Verlag). Everything in the spectrum from technical to non-technical applications and the combination with other methods is welcome.
Welcome to the 4th TRIZ-Anwendertag (User Day) 2026!
Overview
We have chosen the motto "TRIZ ∞: other areas, other methods" for 2026.
The TRIZ-Anwendertag focuses on new applications, research, and extensions of the TRIZ methodology. It is primarily attended by companies, research institutions, colleges, universities, and TRIZ Level 4 and Level 5 aspirants who are further developing TRIZ or combining it with other methods or in other areas such as quality assurance, business models, sustainability topics, etc. New possibilities for applying TRIZ or combining it with other methods will be presented and discussed in lectures.
The event will be offered in hybrid mode (in-person & online).
