AI 4 X Conference 2025
The Inaugural AI 4 X Conference - the premier gathering of researchers who revolutionize Natural Science with Artificial Intelligence (AI) - will be held in Singapore on the 8th – 11th July 2025. AI 4 X 2025 is jointly organised by the Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials (I-FIM) at the National University of Singapore (NUS), together with the National Research Foundation of Singapore (NRF) and the DSO National Laboratories.
The event will bring together an exceptional panel of invited speakers from diverse disciplines, who will share their unique perspectives on Natural Science with AI, along with their visions for the future. A rigorously reviewed selection of contributed talks and posters will facilitate the free flow of people and ideas, and a tutorial track will feature hands-on in-depth workshops on practical and ready for use state-of-the-art methods. Industry leaders and companies who use AI for Science and R&D, as well as those who develop AI for science and scientists will also be invited to participate and share their knowledge, products, and services.

IUMRS-ICEM 2024
The IUMRS-ICEM 2024 will be the first conference to be held in Hong Kong jointly by the International Union of Materials Research Societies (IUMRS), Hong Kong Materials Research Society (HKMRS) and the Hong Kong Branch of National Precious Metals Material Engineering Research Center (NPMM) of City University of Hong Kong (CityU).
The IUMRS-ICEM 2024 will consist of stimulating program of plenary sessions, keynote speeches, panel discussions, poster presentations and exhibitions in advanced materials and technologies.
We aim to make the conference a genuine two-way process and as such, technology knowledge transfer, commercialization and industrialization can be further enhanced through the interactivity.
