The 2025 ScAIEM Conference

The 13th ScAIEM Conference will be on 26.-27. November 2025 in Reykjavik, Iceland. You can read more about the conferende here.

Call for Sessions

The conference theme – The Road ahead – addresses the very nature of our field at the interface between technology and management.
This conference aims to address the importance of innovation and leadership in times of rapid change. Engineering is the cornerstone of progress, constantly expanding the realm of possibility. As we navigate the complexities of the new century, productively integrating innovative engineering and robust management practices will be essential.

We invite everybody to submit ideas for sessions to the conference revolving around IEM-research, IEM-education, or hot topics of significance for young scholars of the IEM-field. A session could be of any of the following formats: presentations, panel discussions, workshops, debates, and round table seminars.

Please submit your session proposals to: scaiem2025@hi.is before October 1, 2025.

Include the following information:
title, intended track (research, education, post-graduate education), type of session (roundtable, panel, presentations, workshop or debates), and a short description.

The conference sessions are designed to stimulate active participation among the attendees.

Session formats:

Presentations Session
At a presentation session, several presenters conduct a presentation each. All presentations are linked to one and the same overall topic and each presentation is accompanied by the opportunity for the audience to ask questions about or contribute with a new perspective on the presentation.

Panel Discussion Session
A panel discussion is a discussion before an audience, about a specific topic. The topic is discussed jointly by a number of panelists who contribute with different perspectives on the subject. A panel is led by a moderator and there should be room for the audience to ask questions to the panel participants and contribute more perspectives on the subject.

Debate Session
A debate is like a panel discussion, but between two contradition positions. Thus, there is a stronger emphasis on the differences between opinions, perspectives, standpoints, and arguments. The panel is led by a moderator/referee and there should be possibilities for the audience to ask questions to the debaters.

Workshop Session
In a workshop, the focus is on participant activity. A workshop begins with a presentation of a specific topic that is made by the workshop leaders. Then follow practical exercises involving all participants.

Round Table Discussions Session
A round table discussion is initiated by a shorter presentation of the session managers of a specific topic. Subsequently, discussions in smaller groups – one at each table – follow a number of different issues related to the subject. At each table there is a discussion manager who can, if necessary, stimulate the discussion on a specific issue. After a specified time, the participants change table / question. The topic and the questions are summarized at the end of the session in a dialogue between the discussion managers and the participants.
