About The Event

CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES

The main objective of the Conference is to provide a scientific and professional contribution to the development of a "Super Smart Society" – Society 5.0. On this path, humans, nature, and technology must achieve a sustainable balance supported by vast data resources. From an engineering perspective, Society 5.0 focuses on applying advanced technologies such as AI, IoT, Big Data Analytics, and Intelligent Robotics to address societal challenges through personalized services and products, enhancing citizens’ well-being. However, the benefits of innovations and engineering solutions also bring new challenges. For these reasons engineers have to consider all of possible negative consequences of this endeavour. Issues related to privacy, ethics, environmental protection, and human resource development should be valued equally from technological aspects. These principles led organizers to set the conference title as "Engineering Role in Society 5.0".
