ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The International Conference on Sustainable Energy and Smart Technologies (ICSEST-2026) is an interdisciplinary international forum dedicated to advancing research and innovation across engineering, digital technologies, sustainability sciences, economics, governance, and applied sciences.

ICSEST-2026 brings together academics, researchers, engineers, policymakers, business leaders, industry professionals, and graduate students to present original research, exchange applied knowledge, and build collaborative networks addressing global technological and sustainability challenges.

While sustainable energy systems remain a central focus, the conference extends broadly to smart technologies, artificial intelligence, intelligent infrastructure, economic systems, environmental management, regulatory frameworks, and interdisciplinary solutions that connect technology with society.

The conference encourages research that integrates:
- Technical innovation and engineering rigor
- Digital transformation and intelligent systems
- Economic feasibility and business strategy
- Governance, regulation, and public policy
- Environmental responsibility and climate resilience
- Measurable societal and industrial impact

CONFERENCE SCOPE AND TOPICS (include but not limited to)
