Your One Stop for Academic Updates

The Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) Conference was founded and organized by Missouri University of Science and Technology in 2011, pushing research boundaries over the last thirteen years. In 2025 the conference was held at MIT in Cambridge, MA USA. (https://sites.mit.edu/cas2025/)

In 2026, CAS will take place for the first time in Asia, hosted at The University of Tokyo. CAS 2026 Tokyo will emphasize theoretical depth, academic rigor, and cross-disciplinary dialogue, strengthening the academic foundations of Systems Engineering and Complex Systems Science. It will serve as a forum dedicated to theory, modeling, and the fundamental understanding of adaptive and emergent behavior in complex systems.

Since CAS 2026 will take place immediately after the INCOSE International Symposium (June 13-18 in Yokohama), we warmly encourage participants to consider attending both events during their visit to Japan.

2026 IEEE 17th International Symposium on Power Electronics for Distributed Generation Systems (PEDG 2026) is a premier international conference organized by the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS). It brings together researchers, academicians, and industry professionals from across the globe to discuss the latest advancements in power electronics and distributed energy systems.

We are delighted to invite you to the 22nd European Conference on Composite Materials (ECCM22), taking place in Oslo, Norway, from June 21–25, 2026.

For the first time, ECCM comes to Norway—hosted in the vibrant heart of Oslo, a city that blends culture, innovation, and natural beauty. With its stunning landscapes, cutting-edge architecture, rich gastronomy, and welcoming atmosphere, Oslo offers the perfect setting for combining business and leisure—an ideal bleisure destination.

ECCM22 is organized by the Laboratory of Advanced & Sustainable Engineering Materials (ASEMlab) at the Norwegian University of Science & Technology (NTNU). As Europe’s leading conference in composite materials and structures, ECCM is a premier platform for advancing research, fostering innovation, and strengthening collaboration across academia and industry.

The 2026 edition will spotlight sustainability, disruptive technologies, and emerging applications in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, energy, maritime, infrastructure, and sports. Both established and frontier topics will be featured, with key themes including green and sustainable materials, recycling and repair technologies, advanced modelling and composite mechanics, digital innovations and AI-assisted technologies, process monitoring and quality control, innovative characterization methods, functional materials, novel sensors, etc.

ECCM22 is renowned for its dynamic networking environment, and this edition will make full use of Oslo’s role as a Scandinavian hub for materials research and innovation.

Attendees will connect with world-leading researchers, scientists, and industry professionals—from composites experts to emerging talents—sharing the latest advances in composite materials and structures. The conference will be held in state-of-the-art facilities, all within walking distance of top hotels, restaurants, and attractions in central Oslo.

We look forward to welcoming you to ECCM22 and to an inspiring and unforgettable experience in Oslo!

The 46th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (IEEE ICDCS 2026) is the premier international forum for researchers and practitioners to present, discuss and exchange cutting edge ideas as well as the latest findings on topics related to all aspects of distributed computing systems. The conference will be held in South Korea. We invite you to submit original contributions to IEEE ICDCS 2026.

Neuroinflammation accompanies essentially all forms of central nervous system (CNS) insults. It can vary from acute reversable molecular changes aimed at preserving or restoring health and homeostasis, to chronic perturbations that contribute to disease progression. Much remains to be learned about the multicellular and multimolecular interactions that underlie different forms of neuroinflammation in different CNS disorders, and how these interactions might be beneficially modulated to improve outcomes. This Keystone Symposia conference on Neuroinflammation in Health and Disease will examine how inflammation in the CNS across different contexts is manifest in healthy and diseased states. The program explores multiple facets of neuroimmune pathways including genetic risk factors, evolutionary origins and the roles of specific cell types in CNS immune response. It also includes recent insights into neuroinflammation in response to viruses, in the context of the microbiome and aspects of autoimmunity. The speakers will present data that span cellular, broader CNS and organismal behavioral effects of neuroinflammation. This meeting is being held jointly with another Keystone Symposia conference on Neurodegeneration: From Neurocentric to System-Wide Perspectives, which provides a focused opportunity to explore how neuroinflammation connects with neurodegenerative disease biology. Through shared keynote and joint scientific sessions, meals and poster sessions, participants will have an opportunity to network and share cross-disciplinary insights, encouraging innovative collaborations towards a deeper understanding of neurodegenerative disease and neuroimmune interactions, and the pathways that interconnect them.

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 15th International Symposium of Health Sciences (I-SIHAT 2026), held in proud collaboration with the 3rd AUAP International Health Science Conference. This year’s theme, “Advancing Health Frontiers: Innovation and Global Partnerships,” reflects the urgency and opportunity we face in reimagining global health in a rapidly changing world. In an era marked by unprecedented health challenges, from pandemics and ageing populations to environmental crises and health inequities, innovation and collaboration have never been more critical. I-SIHAT 2026 provides a vibrant platform to explore bold ideas, share pioneering research, and forge lasting partnerships that transcend disciplines, sectors, and borders. Hosted by the Faculty of Health Sciences, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), and supported by the Association of Universities of Asia and the Pacific (AUAP), this conference brings together a dynamic and diverse community of health professionals, scientists, educators, entrepreneurs, and policy leaders from across Asia, the Asia-Pacific, and beyond. Whether you’re a seasoned expert, an early-career researcher, or an aspiring student, you are an essential part of this journey toward advancing health for all. Throughout our thoughtfully curated program, featuring keynote addresses, plenary sessions, parallel tracks, poster presentations, and networking opportunities, you will discover innovative solutions, build meaningful collaborations, and contribute to shaping a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient global health landscape. On behalf of the organising committee, I warmly invite you to engage, explore, and be inspired at I-SIHAT 2026. Together, let us push the boundaries of health science and create a future where health innovation knows no borders. We look forward to welcoming you in 2026!

Hot Topics in Infection and Immunity in Children (IIC) – The ESPID-Oxford Course is a residential training course which aims to provide updates in key areas of paediatric infection.

The course is targeted at paediatric infectious disease (PID) trainees and trainers, including SAS, LED & Consultant doctors and all those who manage children with infections, covering a variety of topics in Paediatric infection. Delegates come from all over the world and there is usually a 50/50 mix of trainees/consultants.

All sessions are plenary and include a mix of lectures, case rounds, The Debate and introducing the Annual IIC Quiz.
