Countries seek to achieve economic sustainability through practices that enable long-term economic growth and extend the positive effects of this growth to the environmental, social, and cultural aspects of society. economic sustainability emphasizes achieving economic growth in terms of volume and quality while also maintaining the health and stability of societal growth and the human ecosystem. Economic sustainability aims to preserve capital and labor, to improve the standard of living, the effective use of assets, along with maximization of profits.

In light of the rapid developments of the Industrial Revolution 5.0, the importance of this conference to achieve a sustainable economy is embodied in several aspects. As the limited natural resources threaten the sustainability of the economy, the development of new operations and investment in various resources is a necessity for the long-term sustainability of any business activity. On the other hand, preserving human life is important, as climate change causes damages that impede the human ability to continue living, so reducing energy consumption and adjusting the food production approach provides an opportunity for the growth and stability of future generations. Also on this list are discovery and innovation. When the environment gets worse, it becomes harder to come up with new ideas and find new parts that can be used to make products and services that help the economy.

Based on the general objective of this conference, which is to study the practices and challenges facing achieving the sustainability of the economy in the era of the 5.0 industrial revolution, the Executive Committee for the Fifth Conference in the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences has the honor to invite researchers, students, and those interested to contribute to enriching the themes of this conference. It welcomes your participation and attendance and confirms its readiness to work to overcome all difficulties for those wishing to participate from inside or outside.

This conference aims to discuss the challenges and obstacles facing the processes of economic development and growth sustainability by studying the components and obstacles facing economic sustainability, analyzing them in several frameworks and contexts, and defining the economic, financial, administrative, technological, social, and cultural challenges and the human resources needed to reach sustainable economic development, as well as the need to continue building up the development processes. The researchers are welcome to present cases of the experiences of some countries in this field and analyze and evaluate them, especially their procedures for facing the repercussions of economic crises and mitigating their severity to achieve sustainable economic growth in the various public and private economic sectors of countries.
