The 14th International Conference on Exploring Service Science (IESS 2.4), will be organized by the Masaryk University, on February 7-9, 2024 in Brno, Czech Republic. According to the IESS tradition, IESS 2.4 will cover major areas of research and education related to service science and service innovation, including new emerging research trends. In the IESS conferences, the digital part of services constitutes a main component of Service Science exploration.

Contributions grounded in multi-disciplinary approaches to enable transdisciplinary services, are particularly encouraged. In this case, they will explore traditional disciplines, like IT, justice, medicine and health, economy, private and public administration, and engineering, in order to rebuild some of their foundations toward enabling the creation of transdisciplinary services.

The IESS 2.4 conference will bring together academics and service practitioners in a collegial and stimulating environment. The IESS 2.4 edition has a special theme Service Science to promote intelligence augmentation. This topic is to enlighten the potential actions to enhance human intelligence that can be achieved through Service Science, which offers a great opportunity:

  • to continue to deepen the previous topics of the last IESS 2.2 and IESS 2.3 conference: Service Innovation Roadmaps and Responsible Entities Learning, Service Science to ground Sustainable Development Goals
  • and to discover sustainable ways of setting up resilient and sustainable ecosystems by means of trans-disciplinary, trans-institutional, and transnational services systems.

While this special theme is relevant to all conference topics, the IESS 2.4 conference invites forward-looking studies that examine how service science can help individuals, organizations, societies, and countries develop intelligence augmentation to reinforce human responsibility, resilience, and sustainability.
