3rd ICITTBT 2023 Conference
Purpose of the Conference
In the rapidly changing interconnected world of the post pandemic and ongoing crises it has become even more pertinent to focus on world-class scientific and engineering research.
Since the difficulties in the processes of development, employment, education, research, and business are universal, the studies must include experiences from other institutions and countries.
The International Conference organized by CIT intends to create long-term strategic connections and foster interdisciplinary research among academic and industrial participants. The carefully selected conference themes have been chosen to engender these in the fields of: Information Technology, Engineering, Industry 4.0, Business, Economics and Finance, Applied Sciences and Social Sciences.
With the convening of this conference, CIT aims to improve relationships and mutual cooperation amongst researchers in various and specialized domains as well as to further boost and promote the high level of academic scientific professionalism.
