Advanced Technologies: A Direction for Sustainable Development

ICETI 2025 centers on four thematic groups: (1) Environmental Technology and Engineering; (2) Industrial Safety and Environmental Health; (3) Sustainable Development and Natural Resource Conservation; (4) Renewable Energy, Circular Economy, and Climate Change. The presentations focus on addressing global issues related to the environment, safety, and occupational health.

A highlight of ICETI 2025 is research on water treatment technologies, advanced materials, environmental sensors, artificial intelligence, and big data modeling in the assessment of occupational health and safety risks and pollution forecasting, opening up extensive innovation potential for resource management and sustainable development.

ICETI 2025 featured more than 100 presentations from 25 universities and institutes across Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and beyond, with 88 of these presentations accepted for inclusion in the conference proceedings. The event further reinforced the reputation and quality of academic activities organized by Ton Duc Thang University.

The conference served not only as an academic forum but also as a bridge connecting researchers with enterprises and government agencies, providing a platform for research outcomes to be transferred and applied in practice. Through specialized discussion sessions and networking activities for collaboration and technology transfer, the conference contributed to strengthening the link between research results and societal needs.
