Collaboration across disciplines is key to addressing today's global challenges. This collaboration is facilitated by multidisciplinary research, however, the degree to which multidisciplinary researchers are collaborating in projects is slowly but steadily coming to a decline. The 4th International Conference on Advancing Knowledge from Multidisciplinary Perspectives in Engineering & Technology (ICAKMPET-2024), which will transpire on the 26th & 27th of January 2024 , in Philippines.

Professionals from around the world are recognizing that the changes and challenges confronting us require researchers to collaborate more effectively. Research bodies have created a flexible framework of multidisciplinary networks, centers and institutes to facilitate interdisciplinary work. These institutes, centers and networks transcend faculty boundaries to enable the effective advancement of scientific endeavor. Globally, research institutes are addressing some of the most significant issues facing the world today. These institutes are outward looking and work with policy makers and businesses to apply new knowledge and provide independent scientific advice.
