Conference scope

The whole world is faced with problems which are mainly common. In some parts of the world, some of those problems were already solved and some are still in the process to be solved. This then suggests that there is a need for the platform where these solutions can be shared amongst researchers from different parts of the world. The International Conference on Applied Research and Engineering (ICARAE2025) is aimed at bringing researchers from different parts of the world to share their research findings that are relevant to different kinds of problems and also share new technologies being developed in various fields. The objective of this conference is to bring together the professional engineers, technologists, academics, researchers, and postgraduate students to share their research findings in various fields of Science (or Material Science) and Engineering. This conference will be held in Gauteng, South Africa during 21-23 November 2025.

Conference venue

The ICARAE2025 will be conducted in hybrid mode, which means that it will be face-to-face with the option to attend virtually. The venue of the conference will be shared soon.

About the University of South Africa

The University of South Africa (Unisa), the only higher education institution to carry the name of the country, is the people's university in every sense of the word. Throughout its history, spanning 15 decades, Unisa has responded to the developments brought about by changing times, the needs of a developing country and society at large, and an ever-evolving higher education environment. This was achieved through ongoing and dynamic transitioning. Unisa's journey has been one of continuous growth and transformation, aimed at shaping tomorrow through education. Unisa's roots (and indeed that of higher education in South Africa) date back to 1873 when the University of the Cape of Good Hope was founded, initially functioning as an examining body for higher education. In 1916, the university changed its name to the University of South Africa, and in 1918, it relocated to Pretoria. In 1946, it became one of the first public universities in the world to teach exclusively by means of distance education. Today, Unisa is widely recognized as a leading comprehensive, open, distance, and e-Learning (CODeL) university. The university has more than 370 000 students, is the largest university in South Africa and on the African continent, and is one of the world's mega-universities. With offices across South Africa and students from 109 countries, Unisa has an extensive geographical footprint and global reach.
