About Thermodynamics 2.0 | 2024

The International Conference on Thermodynamics 2.0 is a biennial event organized by the International Association for the Integration of Science and Engineering (IAISAE). The conference offers an open forum for discussion which spans the traditional academic borders.

The Thermodynamics 2.0 | 2024 conference will take place at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina, USA on August 5th–7th, 2024 in HYBRID mode, with ONLINE option to join over the Zoom.  This will be an opportunity for academics and researchers to learn about historical and contemporary efforts to connect the natural and social sciences, and discuss Thermodynamics 2.0: Thermodynamics in the 21st Century. Thought leaders from around the world will present on the pivotal role thermodynamics has been playing to bridge sciences. T2024 aims to foster idea-sharing in order to move science forward. A set of new avenues and opportunities might emerge when natural science meets social science.

The conference is dedicated to research and education. The conference will include technical sessions, panel discussions, a poster session, business meetings, social events, and opportunities for interesting excursions.
