The SutRa was held from 26th to 29th of September in Sveti Martin na Muri in Croatia. The SuTra conference was focused on multidisciplinary research and development, as well as operational experiences, all with the aim of discussing optimal scientific and engineering solutions to reduce the negative environmental impact of transportation systems. This must inevitably be done with an interdisciplinary approach and taking into consideration different means of transport: maritime, rail, road and air services, as well as inland waterways. The conference was intended to bring together the academic community, business and administration and all key stakeholders in ensuring the sustainability of modern transportation.

In order to achieve this, the Center collects and processes scientific and professional literature from the fields of culture, education and media, organizes professional meetings, consultations and seminars, issues publications and cooperates with universities, colleges and vocational schools, academies, associations and other organizations in the country and abroad.

The tird conference FUTURE-BME 2024 Conference was organized by University of Novi Sad – Faculty of Technical Sciences and Department of Industrial Engineering and Management. The Conference was held od 30th and 31st of October 2024 in Irig near Novi Sad and it dealth with contemporary issues in the field of management, business and economic engineering, with an emphasis on innovative solutions for identified problems. Some of the problems facing the global economy, such as inflation, climate change, accelerated digitalization, wars, have led to „polycrisis“. The idea is to use an interdisciplinary approach to point out the existing problems in the mentioned areas, as well as to provide a contribution to overcoming contemporary global challenges.
