MEIE is an annual academic event since 2018, aiming to bring together experts in each of the specialized fields to exchange their latest research findings & experiences, and realize global collaborations. At the same time, it allows for cross-disciplines to share ideas from the other closely related research areas.

Due to the continuing impact of COVID-19 pandemic, MEIE2021 was held with a hybrid mode of online and onsite presentations during May 22-24, 2021 in Kunming, China. Conference program was divided into 3 sessions: keynote speeches, oral presentations and poster presentations. The event attracted about 80 participants from 5 different countries and regions, including China, Sweden, USA, Singapore and India.

Thank all the speakers, who have done excellent jobs and attendees for being with us. Except that, we’d like to give special thanks to Prof. Tangbin Xia from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who presided over the conference.
