The Interdisciplinary Solutions Conference (InterSol) is an international conference dedicated to the
advancement of interdisciplinary research that addresses people’s needs in underserved areas. It was
established to tackle some of the most complicated and pressing scientific problems that lie at the
intersections of traditional disciplines. It is intended (1) to encourage innovative interdisciplinary
research, development and education that focus on solving problems in underserved areas, and (2) to
create an international research and development community around “interdisciplinary solutions”. It
meets annually in Africa and aims at bringing together technical experts and researchers from academia,
industry, and government all around the world to discuss novel research results related to Innovations
and Interdisciplinary Solutions for Underserved Areas. The meetings will offer a unique opportunity for
participants to share their experiences with peers around the world, but notably with students and
communities from the host country’s universities.

1. Emerging technologies for sustainable economic development in underserved areas
2. ICT as a lever for sustainable economic growth and social development in underserved areas
3. Improving sustainable energy solutions and environmental interventions in underserved areas
