Universal Village (UV) is a new concept proposed by MIT’s Universal Village Program which exemplifies an ideal future society that pursues harmony between humans and nature through the wise use of advanced technology. IEEE International Conference on Universal Village (UV) explores systematic methodologies for improving the quality of life by advancing the technology of the Universal Village and its major subsystems, including intelligent health care, intelligent transportation, intelligent environment, intelligent energy management, and protection of the environment. It is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society.

UV Forums

The three UV Forums—City Forum, Industry Forum, and Student Forum—are one independent part of the UV Categories and Sessions of the Universal Village Program. Each of the forums provides a platform for academic discussion of related topics and can be held by any organization, at any time, in any location. UV Forums will be organized as one of the events at every International Conference on Universal Village.

We encourage you to submit proposals to hold forums in any of the three categories listed below to UV headquarters.

UV City Forum

The UV City Forum aims to establish a platform for discussion of the development and process of urbanization. Primary topics include proposed UV lifestyles, Smart City technologies, and pollution management

UV Industry Forum

The UV Industry Forum aims to establish a platform for discussion of invention and innovation in industrial production and manufacturing. Primary topics include modern manufacturing technology, material science, and architecture design and construction.

UV Student Forum

The UV Student Forum aims to establish a platform for international students to exchange their research experience and vision with peers, to get constructive feedback from senior researchers, and to collaborate beyond the boundaries of individual research fields.
