In the context of the increasingly urgent global energy and environmental challenges, promoting research, knowledge sharing, and academic networking plays a vital role in achieving sustainable development. With the goal of establishing a prestigious scientific forum, Dong Nai Technology University (DNTU) is organizing the 2nd International Conference on Emerging Technologies for Energy & Environment (ICETE2 - 2026).

Following the success of its inaugural edition, ICETE2 - 2026 is not merely a platform for publishing research findings; it is designed to be an open academic space. It connects domestic and international scientific communities, fostering exchange, enhancing research capacity, and expanding international cooperation.

A highlight of ICETE2 - 2026 is the adoption of a Hybrid model, combining on-site activities at Dong Nai Technology University with online participation. This approach broadens access and connectivity for the global academic community. Beyond traditional topics in energy and environment, this year’s conference focuses on practical solutions, particularly through specialized workshops dedicated to water issues.
