The four-day event is committed to examine and promote the integration of sustainable practices within the diverse spheres of technology and design.
Initiated in 2022, the biennial event is organised by the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) in coordination with universities in Italy, Australia, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan (China), Singapore, and Japan.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Prof. Nguyen Dong Phong, Chairman of the UEH’s University Council, said that from the creation of a green sustainable campus to working towards a circular economy through research, UEH is making a multidimensional impact on many areas of technology and innovation.
The Resilience by Technology and Design 2024 conference is one such initiative, which has proven to have international impact and is creating a promising partnership among researchers throughout the world, he added.
Participants at this year’s event, including local and international scholars and experts in technology and design, discussed the significant role of big data, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and cloud computing as catalysts for sustainability across various sectors.
They will also explore the transformative impact of robotics and autonomous systems on enhancing sustainability; the role of the Internet of Things (IoT) and interaction technology in powering a greener future; how innovation and FinTech are reshaping economic and social development for a more sustainable planet; the development of sustainable smart city; and the role of technology and design in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Discussion sessions will also be held at the UEH – Vinh Long branch in Vinh Long Province on July 17 with a focus on innovative solutions and ideas to cope with cyclones, sea level rise, salinisation of rivers, flooding, and landslides to ensure a more sustainable future for the delta.
A field visit will be organised to the Mekong Delta on July 18 to facilitate interactions with local communities.
