As the new wave of technological revolution and economic transformation accelerates, artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly vital role in reshaping research paradigms and redefining the global socio-economic landscape. Built on the foundations of mathematics, statistics, and computer science, AI has become a driving force of digital innovation, enabling breakthroughs that extend across economics, finance, management, and the social sciences. Its integration with applied sciences underscores the transformative power of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing complex challenges and unlocking new opportunities. Against this backdrop, we are pleased to announce the 2025 International Conference on Economics, Technology, and Interdisciplinary Sciences (ETIS2025), to be held on November 7-8, 2025, under the theme: AI for Interdisciplinary Sciences: Digital Innovation and Economic Transitions.
