Launched in 2019, DACOMA has become a leading platform for promoting data-driven intelligent computing and interdisciplinary innovation.

Themed “Data-Driven & AI-Powered Engineering Innovation”, this year’s conference featured 67 presentations, comprising eight plenary sessions and 59 invited talks.

More than 250 participants from prominent universities and research organisations took part, showcasing the latest developments at the intersection of data, modelling, and engineering applications.

Moving forward, BAST will continue to support academic societies, strengthen partnerships with domestic and international stakeholders, and assist Beijing-based universities in consolidating resources for scientific and technological innovation.
