About International Conference on Excellence in Research and Education (CERE)

The International Conference on Excellence in Research and Education (CERE) is an annual research conference hosted by the Indian Institute of Management Indore (IIM Indore). Starting in 2010, CERE aims to provide a platform for scholars, educators, practitioners, and students worldwide to share their research findings, insights, and experiences on emerging interdisciplinary research trends. The CERE conference serves as a dynamic platform to convene, exchange ideas, and explore cutting-edge research and innovative practices in various fields of study. By facilitating networking opportunities, presenting cutting-edge research, and promoting discussions on emerging trends and challenges, CERE international conferences aim to stimulate interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration, ultimately contributing to the advancement of knowledge. With a focus on fostering collaboration and advancing knowledge dissemination, this conference underscores the importance of excellence in research and education to address global challenges and promote excellence in research and teaching. Through keynote speeches, panel discussions, and paper presentations, participants engage in thought-provoking dialogue, contributing to advancing academic excellence and enhancing teaching and learning methodologies on an international scale.

According to the European Union, Industry 5.0 “provides a vision of an industry that aims beyond efficiency and productivity as the sole goals, and reinforces the role and the contribution of industry to society” and “It places the wellbeing of the worker at the center of the production process and uses new technologies to provide prosperity beyond jobs and growth while respecting the production limits of the planet.”

With the advent of Industry 5.0, the focus of organizations has shifted from productivity to purpose and from efficiency to resilience. Integrating sustainability into the very fabric of business operations is more important than smart manufacturing and the Internet of Things (IoT). Organizations in Industry 5.0 must go beyond the confines of conventional business models to prioritize the value they provide to stakeholders over the profits they provide to shareholders while maintaining social responsibility, environmental consciousness, and ethical practices.

At this conference, let us imagine a future where Industry 5.0 lives up to its promise of fostering economic growth while simultaneously making constructive contributions to society and the environment. At CERE, we aim to foster discussions that will enable participants to navigate the complexities of modern business while upholding ethical and sustainable principles. It is imperative to address this theme at IIM Indore to equip future business leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to drive positive change and contribute to a more sustainable and inclusive economy.
