ABU DHABI: Abu Dhabi University (ADU) hosted its first edition of the International Conference on Environment Design, Material Science and Engineering Technologies (EDMSET), held in collaboration with the International Experts for Research Enrichment and Knowledge Exchange (IEREK).
The three-day conference, which concluded today at ADU’s Dubai campus, provided attendees with a platform to engage in discussions and foster innovation across various fields, including mechanical engineering, architecture, computation, automation, aerospace engineering, and environmental resilience. Additionally, before the conference, 150 research papers were submitted by subject-matter experts and presented during the EDMSET.
Over 200 attendees from 59 countries participated during the three-day conference. Numerous sessions and workshops focused on key tracks, including technology and sustainability, sustainable materials and techniques, engineering and fabrication techniques, art, creativity, interior design, fashion, media
production, sustainable urban futures, and enhancing urban sustainability.
In addition to topics on renewable energy, environmental integration and impacts, sustainable living through green solutions and technologies, and sustainable design and construction.
During the conference, the University’s College of Engineering organised a workshop titled ‘Dynamics of Motion’. The workshop was designed to explore the dynamic movement within urban open spaces, employing advanced spatial configurational analysis to understand and simulate the intricate patterns of motion that define interactions with the urban environment.
Professor Ghassan Aouad, Chancellor of ADU, expressed his pleasure in hosting the first edition of the conference alongside IEREK, which signifies a pivotal step towards a more sustainable future for generations to come.
“At ADU, we are committed to optimising education on sustainability to provide both our students and faculty members with the necessary knowledge and skills to contribute to the
global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UAE’s sustainability agenda,” he added.
