abstract = {In today's world, which has recently seen fractures and isolation forming among states, internationaland interdisciplinary collaboration is an increasingly important source of progress. Collaboration isa rich source of innovation and growth. It is the goal of the Collaborative European ResearchConference (CERC2020) to foster collaboration among friends and colleagues across disciplinesand nations within Europe. CERC emerged from long-standing cooperation between the CorkInstitute of Technology, Ireland and Hochschule Darmstadt - University of Applied Sciences,Germany. CERC has grown to include more well-established partners in Germany, the UnitedKingdom, Greece, Spain, Italy, and many more. 

CERC is truly interdisciplinary, bringing together new and experienced researchers from science,engineering, business, humanities, and the arts. At CERC researchers not only present their findingsas published in their research papers. They are also challenged to collaboratively work out jointaspects of their research during conference sessions and informal social events and gatherings. 

Organizing such an event involves the hard work of many people. COVID-19 pandemic hasimpacted our daily life and research. It has been a significant change to CERC2020 and this is thefirst time the conference was held virtually online. The conference has received submissions fromworldwide, not just European countries. Thanks go to the international program committee and myfellow program chairs, particularly to Prof Udo Bleimann for invaluable support throughout theconference. Prof Ingo Stengel, Dr. Haiying Wang, Dr. Ali Haithem, and Dr. Stefanie Regier forsupporting me in the review process. Dirk Burkhardt and Dr. Robert Loew put a great effort intosetting up the website and conference management system and preparing the conference programmeand proceedings. Thank my colleagues from Ulster University, Hochschule Karlsruhe andHochschule Darmstadt, and the Cork Institute of Technology, Ireland for providing invaluablesupport to the conference. CERC2020 has received supports from Ulster University, VIsit Belfast,and Belfast City Council.},
