The International Congress of Engineering with a Social Sense -CIISS- is a space where various topics of interest in the area of ​​engineering and the challenges it brings to be at the service of society have been discussed. This event reflects the experience of recent years, the interest, commitment, and capabilities of the academic engineering community, with thematic axes as relevant to society as:

• Agriculture, food, environment and sustainability.

• Innovation in infrastructure and sustainable construction.

• Digital transformation and advanced emerging technologies.

• Process optimization and sustainable productivity.

These thematic axes are consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals, whose goals seek to be achieved by involving the entire community: governments, the private sector, civil society and ordinary people to eradicate poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. . In this sense, engineering plays a key and challenging role, as mentioned by Audrey Azoulay, Director General of UNESCO: “Engineering is one of the keys to the sustainable development of our societies, and to activate its full potential , the world needs more engineers and more equality.”
