Scope of the Conference

AI for Sustainable Economy & Green Finance

The International Interdisciplinary Conference on AI for Sustainable Economy and Green Finance (AISEGF’26) is conceived as a premier forum for researchers, scholars, policymakers, industry practitioners, and doctoral students from across the globe. The conference seeks to catalyse high-calibre, interdisciplinary dialogue at the intersection of artificial intelligence, sustainable economic development, and green financial innovation. AISEGF’26 explicitly encourages contributions that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries. Submissions are welcomed from—but not limited to—the fields of computer science, data science, financial economics, environmental economics, public policy, management, operations research, and development studies. Theoretical, empirical, methodological, and applied contributions are equally valued, as are works that foreground the specific conditions and aspirations of emerging territories. AISEGF’26 is jointly organised under the auspices of LIRSEG, ENCG Kenitra (Ibn Tofail University) and is held in conjunction with the International Conference on AI, Robotics, and Cybersecurity for Emerging Technologies (AIRCET), creating a rich, multi-institutional ecosystem of scholarly exchange.
