In addition to paper presentations, the conference also featured five different workshops that provided a platform for in-depth discussions on various topics related to basic and applied sciences. The workshops covered topics such as interdisciplinary applications of mathematics, biomedical engineering in biological advances, theories and applications of green energy, and emerging security challenges of multiprotocol IoT gateways.

The conference was graced by 15 keynote speakers participating who shared their valuable insights and experiences with the participants. The speakers were from various countries, including Poland, Italy, Romania, Malaysia, and Indonesia, and local professors who brought their unique perspectives on the challenges and opportunities in the field of basic and applied sciences. The conference was mainly held on campus, but also provided a virtual platform for those who could not physically attend.
