The STE-EWA Industry and Practice Forum is part of the 2025 International Conference on Smart Technologies & Education (STE2025). The forum is organized by the Edunet World Association (EWA) and open to all interested in or working on this year’s conference topic “Smart Technologies for an All- Electric Society”; non-EWA members are also very welcome to participate.
EWA is an international network of universities, vocational institutions and industry in the field of electrical engineering, automation technology and information technology. It promotes international knowledge transfer and cooperation. With its founding, EWA created an initiative that meets the needs of both educational institutions and industry for practical experience and state-of-the-art technology.
With the help of the network, you can integrate the expertise of users and manufacturers into your teaching. EWA supports the EduNet network powered by Phoenix Contact. In the STE-EWA Industry and Practice Forum, members of EWA, EduNet and other participants can present new and practical education and training solutions for higher education (HEI) and vocational training institutions (VET) in the field of electrical engineering, automation and information technology, and for the digitalization of production. Also, companies and educational institutions are welcome to offer industry-oriented practical workshops on current technologies.
The STE-EWA Industry and Practice Forum 2025 will focus on all topics related to the “All Electric Society”, in particular on smart training technologies that–in line with the principles of Industry 5.0– strengthen the focus of digital transformation on people, increase the resilience of production, and better focus on sustainability. This includes supporting education and training for advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, the Internet of Things, smart systems, and e-mobility.
