The Commission for the Study of Scientific Problems of Natural Disasters of the Georgian National Academy of Sciences are pleased to invite you to the 7th International Congress on Engineering and Life Sciences (ICELIS 2026).

The primary objective of the congress is to bring together leading scientists, researchers, academic representatives, and industry professionals from various countries to share their experiences, present the latest scientific achievements, and discuss innovative technologies in the fields of engineering and life sciences. The congress will serve as an excellent platform for fostering international collaboration, establishing professional networks, and initiating future joint research projects.

Organizational Format and Key Features of the Congress:

  • Venue: The Georgian National Academy of Sciences (Address: 52 Shota Rustaveli Avenue, Tbilisi, Georgia).
  • Working Format: Hybrid model. Congress participants are offered the opportunity to choose between in-person attendance (poster or oral presentations delivered directly in the halls of the Academy) and a remote/virtual engagement format, facilitating broad participation of scientists from all corners of the globe.
  • Language Policy: The primary organizational and documentary language of the congress is English. To ensure indexing in international scientific databases, submitted abstracts, full texts, and posters must be prepared exclusively in English. The oral presentations themselves may be delivered by the authors in English, Georgian, or Turkish, which significantly broadens the scope of academic discussion.
