The International Conference on Vocational Innovation and Applied Sciences (ICVIAS)<\/strong> is an annual international conference hosted by the Faculty of Vocational Studies, Universitas Airlangga. Therefore, it serves as a platform to connect vocational higher education communities with broader innovation ecosystems. <\/p>\n Now in its 8th edition, ICVIAS gathers TVET educators, students, researchers, industry partners, LSP, incubators, accelerators, and public services. Thus, the conference provides a platform to share applied research, teaching innovations, and real-world implementations. <\/p>\n In Indonesia, conference participation has often been driven primarily by publication motives. Therefore, ICVIAS is strengthened as a practice-based hub prioritizing collaboration, networking, and solution-oriented engagement beyond paper presentations. <\/p>\n The 8th ICVIAS 2026 will be held on 15 October 2026 in Surabaya, Indonesia (Hybrid Conference). The theme is: <\/p>\n \u201cApplied Digital Innovation for Work-Ready Solutions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Moreover, aligned with the theme \u201cApplied Digital Innovation for Work-Ready Solutions,\u201d<\/em> the sub-theme \u201cConnecting TVET, industry, and communities through practice-based innovation and measurable impact\u201d<\/em> is emphasized. Consequently, ICVIAS highlights the role of technology, information, and innovation. As a result, these elements are translated into competencies, prototypes, improved workflows, and measurable service outcomes. <\/p>\n Furthermore, ICVIAS features keynote sessions, editorial clinics, showcases, and industry problem-solution meetings. In addition, it also includes a Student Challenge Competition. Ultimately, the conference aims to foster meaningful connectivity and sustainable partnerships that support workforce readiness and community impact. <\/p>\n Accordingly, researchers, academicians, practitioners, and students are invited to submit papers and join the international poster competition. Moreover, they are encouraged to participate in workshop sessions. <\/p>\n \u2022 Applied AI & Data \u2022 Full Paper Submission: 1 August 2026✨ Areas include:<\/h6>\n
