IEEE IHTC 2024

The IEEE International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IEEE IHTC) is an interdisciplinary conference series organized by IEEE Region 8 (Africa, Europe, and the Middle East), IEEE Region 7 (Canada), and IEEE Region 9 (Latin America and the Caribbean). IEEE IHTC 2024 will be hosted at Politecnico di Bari (Bari, Italy) on November 27‐30.

Stakeholders from the public, private, education and research, and societal sectors around the world are invited to submit their contributions focused on showcasing challenges, success stories, lessons learned, case studies, and technological innovation related to achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ICT4D, and the application of Humanitarian Technologies (including Disaster Relief and Disaster Recovery).

Submissions are invited for Poster or Full paper presentation (proof of concept and mature results) to facilitate the diversity of stakeholders who wish to contribute and have valuable experiences and perspectives to share. Submissions will be assessed for quality, relevance, and potential or actual impact. Presenters and delegates alike will enjoy the opportunity to share insights and build relationships with like‐minded individuals, organizations, and stakeholder groups around the world.

All the submissions should include results that have not previously been published and have not been submitted to another conference or journal. Also, it is important to remark that all submissions will undergo a Plagiarism and AI Utilization Check before being assigned for blind peer review by members of the Technical Program Committee (TPC).

Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE IHTC 2024 Conference Proceedings. Full papers presented and discussed orally, in presence or remotely, will be submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. After the conference, the Program committee can select the best papers, in the limit of the 20%, for further review to be published in the IAS periodicals.
