Our goal is to maintain the high standards we established at the Museum of the Future.
After the huge success of the first edition, which attracted a wealth of applicants and high-quality research, IEREK is proud to announce the second edition of the highly successful conference on "Sustainable Creative Art: Inspiration from Nature." IEREK has selected Milan, a city renowned for its design and creativity, as the perfect venue for this event. To maintain the high standards we have achieved, the “National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo da Vinci” will host the grand opening on Sep 29, 2026.
IEREK is excited to invite designers, architects, artists, scholars, and industry professionals to this important conference. During the 2024 conference, Istituto Marangoni has been instrumental in shaping the artistic landscape and nurturing the talents of many celebrated artists. Similarly, we are inviting all international universities to dedicate themselves to promoting innovation and excellence in the creative arts, providing a platform for students to explore their artistic capabilities, focusing on sustainable collaboration, and committing to cultivating a new generation of creative thinkers.
The conference will examine the innovative strategies employed by artists and creative sectors as they embrace sustainability and integrate nature-inspired elements into their work. Delegates will have the opportunity to discover how architecture can find sustainable solutions to environmental problems, creating structures that blend seamlessly with their surroundings while minimizing ecological footprints. The transformative power of interior design will also be highlighted, showcasing how spaces can be enriched with natural elements that enhance well-being and sustainability.
The conference will emphasize the balance of sustainability and aesthetics in all disciplines of design, including graphics, interior, exterior, materials, urban, planning, morals, mechanics, IT, landscapes, decor, and fashion design. All of which profoundly impact our daily lives. Participants will see how the industry is at the forefront of adopting sustainable practices, from the design ideas to responsibly sourced materials and final models and beyond. Additionally, photography, painting, and other visual arts will capture and immortalize the essence of nature’s beauty. Decorative murals will invigorate urban environments, bringing vibrant colors and motifs inspired by the natural world.
The Sustainable Creative Art conference promises to be an enriching and enlightening experience, uniting academics, innovators, artists, industry professionals, and enthusiasts to explore the vast possibilities of sustainable art. We invite you to join us in Milan as we celebrate nature’s beauty and its significant influence on the creative process. By fostering diverse voices and perspectives, the conference will establish a global network of artists and scholars dedicated to exploring the potential of sustainable art. Together, we can confront the challenges and seize the opportunities presented at the intersection of art, sustainability, and nature.
Our aim is to promote an exchange of ideas, perspectives, and experiences among participants, ultimately enhancing their collective understanding of sustainable creative art. Therefore, this conference extends beyond the sessions held in Milan, welcoming the international community of artists and scholars. We are honored to host esteemed representatives from universities worldwide, who will share their invaluable insights and expertise. Renowned designers in architecture and all other disciplines, including artists, fashion designers and influential figures, will also contribute their knowledge and experiences.

About ASTI
Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation (ASTI) is a series of peer-reviewed books based on important emerging research that redefines the current disciplinary boundaries in science, technology and innovation (STI) in order to develop integrated concepts for sustainable development. It not only discusses the progress made towards securing more resources, allocating smarter solutions, and rebalancing the relationship between nature and people, but also provides in-depth insights from comprehensive research that addresses the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) as set out by the UN for 2030.
The series draws on the best research papers from various IEREK and other international conferences to promote the creation and development of viable solutions for a sustainable future and a positive societal transformation with the help of integrated and innovative science-based approaches. Including interdisciplinary contributions, it presents innovative approaches and highlights how they can best support both economic and sustainable development, through better use of data, more effective institutions, and global, local and individual action, for the welfare of all societies. The series particularly features conceptual and empirical contributions from various interrelated fields of science, technology and innovation, with an emphasis on digital transformation, that focus on providing practical solutions to ensure food, water and energy security to achieve the SDGs. It also presents new case studies offering concrete examples of how to resolve sustainable urbanization and environmental issues in different regions of the world. Read More.
The ASTI series is fully indexed in Scopus and any chapter/ paper published as part of this series will be seen on the Scopus database. Some titles have been successfully indexed or submitted for indexation in Web of Science (ISI).
