VISION WHERE: Lviv, the gem of Western Ukraine. The city is incredibly close to Europe and has-- over the years-- developed an advanced infrastructure. With cosy, pavestone streets serving as the veins of the city, it is full of history and open-minded people that embellish the city. Having entered the city, one cannot but fall in love with the rich Ukrainian culture, served by every corner of the former Western Ukrainian capital. WHEN: February 7-17, 2019 -- no midterms or work deadlines, the weather is sunny with a light touch of winter frost, nature ready to bloom. MOTTO: O ​ ld city, new traditions. The primary focus of Lviv IF is development. At the forum, we want to go in-depth into the four areas that are most relevant to Europe, namely: Green Economy Green economy is an economy that results in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. It can be seen as a means to achieve a resilient economy that provides a better quality of life for all within the ecological limits of the planet. It can be also seen as a means to link the economic, environmental, and social considerations of sustainable development in such a manner that long-term economic development is achieved by investing in environmentally friendly and socially equitable solutions. Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is changing the world and the way we live, creating scientific advances and new products that are smaller, faster, stronger, safer, and more reliable. After about 20 years of steady progress in nanotechnology research and development, scientists keep on exploring exciting new discoveries at the nanoscale every day. It is our turn to start shaping and defining the way we can use them while considering social, economic, legal, environmental, and other aspects.
Legal Secured in 1215 in Magna Charta and divided in 1979 into three generations, fundamental human rights are now shaping and forming relations in the society. The challenge that the international community is facing right now involves defining the legislative level of the third generation human rights. That includes the collective rights on environmental and informational safety. Inceptive fourth generation is now setting a goal to secure the right to autonomy that questions moral, ethical, and religious opinions. IT Fastest-growing and ever-changing, the IT industry constitutes the bottom line for the progress’ direction. At the same time, as computing systems and capabilities continue to expand worldwide, data overload has become an increasingly critical challenge for myriad IT professionals. System and network security issues are a primary concern for many business executives, for any security incident/breach can potentially damage a company’s reputation and trigger hefty losses in revenue.
