The European Group for Intelligent Computing in Engineering (EG-ICE) was established in 1993 to promote research on the interface between computing and engineering challenges. The primary goals of the group are to promote engineering informatics research across Europe by encouraging and improving contacts between researchers, fostering research collaboration and enhancing awareness of the latest developments. The group maintains active contact with similar groups in countries outside Europe and encourages membership by non-Europeans. Moreover, the group has a further aim to increase the awareness of industry of advanced engineering informatics.
To achieve its aims, the group runs a yearly workshop and is active in the promotion, dissemination and exchange of ideas in order to provide effective links between research, industry and teaching. The EG-ICE 2025 conference is not restricted to engineers. Thus, computer scientists, architects, psychologists and other interested people are encouraged to participate.
The full programme for the IG-ICE 2025 conference is now available: https://strath.eventsair.com/QuickEventWebsitePortal/eg-ice-2025/speakers/Agenda
There will be an informal reception and early registration on the 30th of June between 18:00 and 20:00 (at the Strathclyde Students’ Union – 51 Richmond St, Glasgow G1 1XU)
