Introduction

Hello everyone and greetings!

Let me wish you a welcome to this special session. The main goal of this session is to let you have the experience of conducting an active training session.

The fourth industrial revolution (4IR) is a new term coined in the 2016 World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos. I've been following the development of 4IR and the discussion around it since then. I'm delighted to see the increasing interest in 4IR and its spin-off terms such as Industry 4.0, Education 4.0, etc.
