          In an era of rapid technological and societal change, disruption is not just a challenge but a catalyst for innovation. This track explores how disruptive forces can be systematically understood, modeled, and harnessed to drive transformative progress across disciplines.
      We invite contributions on:
- Theoretical foundations of disruption and innovation dynamics
- Frameworks for embedding productive disruption in organizations and technology
- Emerging disruptive technologies and their societal impact
- Disruptions in social, environmental, and economic systems
- Metrics, decision-making, and risk management in disruptive innovation
- Educational strategies for fostering resilience and innovation
By examining disruption as a deliberate strategy, this track aims to advance interdisciplinary research and practical applications that shape the future of science, technology, and society.
