                    <h3 style="display: inline-block;">Scope:</h3> The 14th International Conference on Awareness
                    Science and Technology
                    (iCAST 2026) will be hosted by Ocean University of China in Qingdao, China, a vibrant coastal city
                    known for its strong academic tradition and growing influence in marine science and artificial
                    intelligence. As a flagship event in the field, iCAST 2026 continues its mission of advancing the
                    interdisciplinary study of awareness in computational systems and intelligent technologies.
                    "Awareness" is the ability to be conscious of, feel, or perceive (Wikipedia). This implies
                    vigilance in observation and alertness in drawing inferences from what one experiences
                    (Merriam-Webster). The ultimate goal of awareness computing is to create computing systems that
                    are themselves aware. The conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientists
                    to discuss awareness of computing and exchange ideas, opinions, and the latest results in this
                    emerging field.</p>

                    <p>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:</p>
