Meeting Announcement

The University of Texas at Arlington hosted 530 of the brightest minds from North Texas’ middle and high schools last month for the 74th Fort Worth Regional Science and Engineering Fair. The fair attracted more students than ever, with the number of participants increasing by more than 25% over 2024. Engineering remains a high-demand field, especially in Texas, where the economy and the population continue to grow.

It is a great pleasure to announce that Professor Robert T. Schooley, from the University of California, San Diego (USA), will be a keynote speaker at the 8th World Congress on Targeting Phage Therapy, scheduled for June 10-11, 2025, in Berlin.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to transform healthcare, but its successful integration into healthcare requires careful consideration of regulatory frameworks, governance structures, data equity, and privacy protections. To help their academic community coalesce around this challenge, a team comprised of researchers from Lehigh University, Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, and Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine are gathering researchers, clinicians, and industry experts in this space as part of the 2025 Spring Symposium Series sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI.) The team's "Leveraging AI to Revolutionize Healthcare" symposium will be a key portion of the 2025 AAAI Spring Symposium Series, set for Monday, March 31 through Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at the San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront in Burlingame, California.

Chiba University proudly presents the International Workshop on Space Agriculture and Horticulture 2025, a groundbreaking event set to take place from March 9–11, 2025, at Matsudo Campus, Japan.

Bringing together leading researchers, industry pioneers, and space agencies—including NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the German Aerospace Center (DLR)—this landmark workshop will explore the frontiers of space agriculture and horticulture.

The workshop aims to foster a deeper understanding of research initiatives across institutions worldwide, focusing on space horticulture, bioregenerative life support systems, and plant cultivation beyond Earth.

Through dynamic discussions and interdisciplinary collaboration, we seek to forge new pathways for future collaborative research, driving the next era of sustainable life in space.

We warmly welcome researchers, postgraduate students, industry professionals, and academic communities worldwide to join us in shaping the future of food production beyond our planet.

Following the success of the inaugural IoTCIT 2022-2024, which achieved full EI indexing for its past proceedings, IoTCIT 2025aimed to provide a worldwide platform for scholars, who are engaged in the field of communications, Internet of Things and Intelligent Technology to exchange and display their research results, and to establish itself as a useful channel for academic institutions, enterprises and individuals to obtain useful resources, information and suggestions for their research, strategic planning and career development.

IoTCIT cordially invite researchers, academicians, practitioners, and students worldwide to submit original research papers, attend keynote sessions, and engage in dynamic discussions in the scholar sessions. The committee hopes that it could bring forth new ideas and the new findings, whether you are presenting groundbreaking work or participating as an attendee.

The rapid evolution of deep learning and computer vision has revolutionized industries ranging from healthcare to autonomous systems. Following the success of the inaugural DLCV 2024(Past Name: CVDL, modified to IEEE DLCV according to IEEE Council), which achieved full EI indexing for its 2024 proceedings, IEEE DLCV 2025 continues to serve as a premier platform for global researchers, engineers, and industry leaders to exchange cutting-edge ideas, showcase innovations, and foster interdisciplinary collaborations. This conference aims to bridge theoretical advancements with practical applications, addressing challenges and opportunities in artificial intelligence and visual computing.

We cordially invite researchers, academicians, practitioners, and students worldwide to submit original research papers, attend keynote sessions, and engage in dynamic discussions in the scholar sessions. Whether you are presenting groundbreaking work or participating as an attendee, IEEE DLCV 2025 offers unparalleled opportunities to network with pioneers in AI and contribute to shaping the future of intelligent technologies.

The 3rd International Conference on UltrafastX (UltrafastX 2025) will be held in Xiamen from October 23 to 26, 2025.

Since the discovery of actin in relation to muscle function more than 80 years ago by Albert Szent-Gyorgyi in Szeged, Hungary, actin research has become extremely diverse and now extends to plants and prokaryotes, as well as biochemical, biophysical, molecular, and cellular biology fields. The need for an international actin conference with comprehensive topics, where the latest results and research directions are presented, is critical for the community. Therefore, we decided to bring together the best experts in actin biology from across the world to build research synergies to tackle long-standing questions covering the enormous spectrum of the field of actin biology.

Hereby we kindly invite you to participate in the ACTIN ASSEMBLY FOR INTRACELLULAR FUNCTIONS 2025 conference between May 21-24, 2025. The meeting will take place in the new conference centre of the HUN-REN Biological Research Centre (BRC) Szeged, Hungary (https://www.brc.hu/en), where the lecture halls, the poster and company exhibition areas will all be located in one building, together with the restaurant and social rooms. This venue is ideal for catching up with colleagues, discussing your research, building collaborations, and sparking new ideas.

With 27 invited speakers already confirmed, 12 additional short presentations, three poster sessions, and social events, including the Wine Festival and Bridge Fair in Szeged, AAIF2025 is guaranteed to be a stimulating and enjoyable conference for all participants.

SESSION TOPICS

Researchers have developed a high-speed electro-optic switch that is energy-efficient, has low crosstalk and works across a broad bandwidth. Made using a scalable, chip-friendly process, this switch could enhance data capacity in optical networks and data centers by improving signal routing and switching.
