Preface
Preface
In today's world, which has recently seen fractures and isolation forming among states, international
and interdisciplinary collaboration is an increasingly important source of progress. Collaboration is
a rich source of innovation and growth. It is the goal of the Collaborative European Research
Conference (CERC2020) to foster collaboration among friends and colleagues across disciplines
and nations within Europe. CERC emerged from long-standing cooperation between the Cork
Institute of Technology, Ireland and Hochschule Darmstadt - University of Applied Sciences,
Germany. CERC has grown to include more well-established partners in Germany, the United
Kingdom, Greece, Spain, Italy, and many more.
CERC is truly interdisciplinary, bringing together new and experienced researchers from science,
engineering, business, humanities, and the arts. At CERC researchers not only present their findings
as published in their research papers. They are also challenged to collaboratively work out joint
aspects of their research during conference sessions and informal social events and gatherings.
Organizing such an event involves the hard work of many people. COVID-19 pandemic has
impacted our daily life and research. It has been a significant change to CERC2020 and this is the
first time the conference was held virtually online. The conference has received submissions from
worldwide, not just European countries. Thanks go to the international program committee and my
fellow program chairs, particularly to Prof Udo Bleimann for invaluable support throughout the
conference. Prof Ingo Stengel, Dr. Haiying Wang, Dr. Ali Haithem, and Dr. Stefanie Regier for
supporting me in the review process. Dirk Burkhardt and Dr. Robert Loew put a great effort into
setting up the website and conference management system and preparing the conference programme
and proceedings. Thank my colleagues from Ulster University, Hochschule Karlsruhe and
Hochschule Darmstadt, and the Cork Institute of Technology, Ireland for providing invaluable
support to the conference. CERC2020 has received supports from Ulster University, VIsit Belfast,
and Belfast City Council.
