ICATH’2020 focuses on advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. This cross-disciplinary workshop provides the critical issues for the benefit of the resource-constrained and vulnerable populations in the world. In addition, it is an opportunity to identify the most pressing needs and discover the highlight humanitarian technologies that promote successful practice, and attract humanitarian and emergency management practitioners in order to learn from their successes and better guide future research. The ICATH aims at examining the various challenges in those areas and will provide a forum for exchanging ideas, discussing solutions, and sharing experiences among researchers and professionals from both academia and industry.

The conference themes of the advanced technologies for the benefit of humanity are presented  but not limited to the following thematic areas:
