RC-FBSIC 2027About

A conference about building the future, sustainably.

RC-FBSIC brings engineering, computing, education, policy and the social sciences into the same sessions, because a sustainable future depends on all of them at once.

Theme

Future Building & Sustainability

“Future Building” means building the future. The conference covers research that helps societies develop sustainably: the technical work (AI, smart infrastructure, green engineering, energy) and the human side: how people learn, how communities live together and recover from conflict, and how technology and development are governed.

Papers should address a real problem and show evidence. Theoretical work is welcome when it is clear how it applies.

Objectives

  • Give researchers a peer-reviewed venue to present original work in seven connected tracks.
  • Put engineers, data scientists, policy researchers and social scientists in the same conversation.
  • Help early-career researchers publish: clear guidelines, reviewer feedback, and an ISBN volume with DOIs.
  • Point strong papers toward journal publication after the conference.
