IMTIC'18 is jointly organized by Mehran University of Engineering & Technology (MUET), Jamshoro, Pakistan, Erasmus Mundus LEADERS and Erasmus+ CAPRIO. IMTIC is an international forum for researchers to exchange the information regarding novel aspects of technology, applications and the development of value added services in the field of Information and Communication Technologies.

IMTIC'18 aims to bring together a wide spectrum of international experts to facilitate a creative environment for the promotion of research collaboration and knowledge transfer. In particular, it will facilitate a dialogue between major industry players, entrepreneurs and academia for creating a road map to mutually solve scientific problems.

The conference program will consist of keynote speakers from both academia and industry, panel discussions and a multi-track technical program. There will be opportunities to attend interactive, high quality, peer reviewed sessions which will provide detailed insights from forward thinkers working on the themes of the conference.
