The 4th International Conference on Innovations in Computing Research

Three Days of Computing Research

I recently had the chance to participate in the Fourth International Conference on Innovations in Computing Research (ICR’25) in London from August 25-27, 2025. I served as both a panel moderator and session chair.

The conference was organized by The Institute for Innovations in Computer Science and Engineering Research (IICSER) and brought together researchers from around the world.

What Stood Out

The conference covered a lot of ground – Data Science, Computer and Network Security, Health Informatics, IoT, Smart Cities, and Computer Science Education. The keynote speakers were particularly interesting. Professor Maribel Fernández from King’s College London spoke about access control, Professor María Isabel González Vasco from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid discussed post-quantum cryptography, and Professor Pascal Lorenz from University of Haute-Alsace presented on next-generation wireless networks.

As a session chair, I was pleased with the quality of presentations. Researchers shared work ranging from practical cybersecurity applications to theoretical machine learning advances. The panel discussion on “Current and Future Innovations in Data Science” sparked some good debates about where our field is heading.

London as a Conference City

London worked well as a conference location. The city has strong academic roots and plenty of universities and research centers, which felt fitting for our gathering. The transport system made it easy to get around, and there were plenty of restaurants for informal discussions after sessions.

Many attendees took time to visit the British Museum, Science Museum, or explore the university areas around King’s College and UCL. The mix of historic sites and modern facilities made for an interesting backdrop to our technical discussions.

Final Thoughts

ICR’25 showed that international collaboration in computing research is alive and well. The hybrid format worked smoothly, allowing colleagues who couldn’t travel to still participate meaningfully. The range of topics – from theoretical computer science to practical healthcare applications – reflected how broad our field has become.

Thanks to everyone who helped organize the conference and to all the participants who made it worthwhile. These conferences remind me why international academic collaboration matters for tackling complex technical problems.
