Dariusz Niebudek, one of the most recognisable actors in Silesia, invited you in the Silesian language to participate in ESOF2024. He is a stage personality known not only for his acting and directing, but also for his enthusiastic dedication to the region's affairs: the language, history and culture of Silesia.

Discover six thematic areas of the ESOF2024 conference.
The energy transition means changing the way energy has been delivered and used so far. In the common understanding, it is associated with solar energy obtained from photovoltaic panels, electric cars, and smog. But also, especially in coal regions, it is associated with the closing of coal mines and power plants, as well as unemployment.
Undoubtedly, the energy transition affects many companies, areas of activity, local communities, employees and families. Its success therefore requires a balanced approach, both technological and social, based on dialogue to develop common solutions that serve both current and future generations.
Each human activity, especially leading to improvement of the quality of human life, puts inevitable pressure on the natural environment. The effects of such pressure are visible in the form of constantly growing environmental pollution with new materials and substances that are hard to identify, decreasing accessibility of water ensuring survival for all living beings, global climate change, decreasing biodiversity and many other adverse phenomena.
The ESOF conference gives an opportunity to look at them from different points of view, understand, consider and either try to adapt to them or slow them down.
What power lies in the arts and design – what can they change and how can they help in discovering identity? A collective reflection on the impact of creative activities on how we perceive the environment in which we function every day is barely the beginning of the searches for tools to change the region's image and the way we think about it.
The arts and design combined with science can disenchant complex topics, be an impulse to look further and deeper, and ask uncomfortable questions. They can initiate the process of transforming social stereotypes and make the feeling of being ‘from here’ something to be proud of.
In today’s ever-changing world, our understanding of scientific excellence is constantly subject to transformations due to emerging challenges related to research methods, technological development, scientific evaluation, ethics of scientific research, digital era, and AI.
We would like to analyse the newest trends and conditions for excellent scientific research, look into the key scientific policies and the changes currently taking place in world’s science; we will attempt to understand their causes and effects.
Innovative research in chronic disease prevention, strategies for promoting mental health, health education, epidemiologic studies, health needs assessment, and the impact of environmental factors on health are the major topics of the conference sessions.
Experts from various fields of science and medical specialities were united by the desire to find effective solutions in the uneven struggle against cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancers and other illnesses. They will discuss therapeutic techniques, physical activity as a way to improve one’s mental health and the significance of environmental protection for public health. The goal is to identify effective strategies for disease prevention and improve the quality of life in society.
Digital transformation is the development of information and communication technologies and the introduction of digital carriers in virtually all areas of the economy and social life. The networked world, increasingly saturated with digital sensors monitoring all areas of human functioning, is changing its face.
The Internet of Things, combined with the implementation of machine learning methods and artificial intelligence models, opens up a new range of commonly available participation opportunities. This is especially true for the challenges of being flooded with all kinds of data.
