The 6th Digital Belt and Road Conference (DBAR 2022)

The Digital Belt and Road Program (DBAR) is an International Science Program which was formally established in 2016 and was initiated through the collaborations between Chinese and international experts from several countries. Currently, 59 countries, international organizations and international programs participate in the program to share data, experience, technology, and knowledge to promote and facilitate use of science and technology for the sustainable development in the Belt and Road region, as an important pillar for the Global Development Initiative (GDI). The DBAR has sets up 9 Working groups to jointly promote regional cooperation on cross-disciplinary research towards use of space observation and big data to achieving the sustainable development goals. DBAR has also established 9 International Centers of Excellence (ICoE) at Morocco, Zambia, Ghana, Thailand, Pakistan, Finland, Italy, Russia and the United States to facilitate international cooperation and research networking. The Digital Belt and Road Conference has successfully organized five times.

The 6th Digital Belt and Road Conference (DBAR 2022) will be held in Beijing, China, from September 7th to 9th, 2022. The topic of the Conference is Digital for Sustainable Future. Focusing on the innovation and application of digital technology, the Conference will discuss the scientific discovery and knowledge dissemination, helping to achieve Sustainable Development Goals in the Belt and Road region.
