Call For Workshop Proposals
In addition to exciting technical symposia, tutorials, industry forums and exhibitions, SICET 2025 will feature a series of half and full-day workshops, special sessions and many pre-conference workshops. The SICET 2025 workshops will highlight current topics related to technical and business issues in current Engineering or related areas.
We invite the submission of workshop/Special Session proposals. The aim of the conference workshop/Special Session is to emphasize emerging topics not specifically covered in the main conference. Workshops should highlight current topics related to technical and business issues in Engineering or related areas.
