Organized annually by the French Association for Industrial Engineering (SAGIP), the congress serves as an important forum for researchers, academics, and industry professionals to exchange the latest advances in industrial engineering, production systems, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation. The 2026 edition brought together participants from universities, research institutions, and companies to foster scientific collaboration and innovation.

On 10 June, 2026 the IAD Director, Dr. Kim Duc TRAN delivered a presentation entitled "Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Interpretable Pressure Prediction in Medical Compression Stockings", jointly conducted with Dong A University lecturers currently pursuing their doctoral studies at the University of Lille. The study proposes an Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) approach for predicting pressure distribution in medical compression stockings while ensuring that the model's decision-making process remains transparent and interpretable. By integrating advanced AI techniques with explainability, the research contributes to the development of trustworthy AI applications in healthcare and supports more informed clinical decision-making.

Participation in the 4th Annual SAGIP Congress demonstrates IAD's commitment to advancing high-quality scientific research and strengthening international academic partnerships. It also reflects the successful collaboration between IAD, Dong A University, and the University of Lille in promoting interdisciplinary research and developing innovative AI solutions for real-world healthcare applications.

The participation of Dong A University lecturers in this international scientific event further highlights the effectiveness of the doctoral training partnership between Dong A University and the University of Lille, reaffirming the shared commitment of both institutions to research excellence and global academic engagement.
