Society 5.0
Co-Existence Between Human Being and Machine Being
5th Conference: 25th-27th June 2025
Hosted by: University of Camerino (UNICAM)
Conference venue: UNICAM’s Polo Didattico di San Benedetto
The Conference
In a rapidly evolving digital society, the growing interaction between humans and machines is redefining the boundaries of any aspects and stages of our life cycle. This emerging “collaboration” has the potential to drive forward social good, foster a more equitable, sustainable and responsible future, while properly addressing (complex) global challenges. However, this significant and pervasive interaction also requires a careful engagement with the ethical and social issues that arise alongside these innovations.
This conference provides an important and timely opportunity to contribute to the vision of Society 5.0 — a human-centered society that increasingly relies on a “fair pact” between human being and machine being with the aim of shaping a future where everyone benefits, while ensuring justice, inclusivity, and sustainability for the generations to come.
In the spirit of Society 5.0, a human-centered society, we would like to ensure that as many people as possible, are able to take part in the conference in 2025. You will be able to experience:
The research track covering topic areas across all research fields
The industry track where you can present, or learn about, practical experience and case studies
The workshops track where you can submit a workshop proposal or attend your workshop of choice.
The doctoral symposium where doctoral students doing research in the Society 5.0 domains can submit a summary of their research and obtain valuable input from mentors and peers.
