The Budapest conference will feature the traditional tracks and themes of previous ISDRS conferences to serve as the main thread of discussion in both plenary and breakout sessions.
Special Track 10a will explore the nexus between Sustainable Development and Artificial Intelligence (see below) and a call for additional Special Tracks has been published to invite innovative, interdisciplinary sessions addressing the main theme of the conference. These special tracks will be announced in early January, 2025.
