The “International Conference: Modern Information Technologies for Society” (MITS’25), organised by the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Lublin University of Technology, took place on December 11–12, 2025. Co-organisers were the Lublin Scientific Society, Polish Information Processing Society, Lublin Branch, and Hieronim Łopaciński Voivodeship Public Library in Lublin. The conference is the latest in a series of international conferences organised by the Department of Computer Science in Poland and abroad since 2018.
The conference opening ceremony was led by Prof. Tomasz Zientarski, Head of the Department of Computer Science, the university authorities were represented by Prof. Elżbieta Jartych, Plenipotentiary for Internationalisation, and the authorities of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science by Prof. Paweł Węgierek, Dean of the Faculty. The conference program was very rich and included a plenary session (9 presentations) and 4 specialised sessions (25 presentations in total), two of which were held in English and two in Russian. On the second day of the conference, a virtual session (10 presentations) and a poster session (27 posters) were held.
Additionally, a monograph entitled Protection, Sharing, and Management in the Area of Cultural Heritage and in the Field of Digital History (https://rock.pollub.pl/entities/publication/a3b4059b-384c-419b-bef5-45b14c0e1d77), published in 2025 by the Lublin University of Technology Publishing House, was promoted. Its editors are Dr Aziz Mullaev from the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan and Dr Mariusz Dzieńkowski from the Department of Computer Science. The monograph is the result of a 2023 conference organised by the Department of Computer Science and contains 26 articles on 270 pages.
Seventy-nine papers were submitted to the conference, 46 of them by foreign scholars representing China, Spain, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The remaining papers were submitted by scientists representing Lublin University of Technology, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Hieronim Łopaciński Voivodeship Public Library in Lublin, and Grodzka Gate NN Theatre Centre in Lublin.
All abstracts of the presentations were published in the Book of Abstracts, published by Polish Information Processing Society, Lublin Branch, eds.: M. Plechawska-Wójcik, K. Rybak, G. Kozieł, ISBN 978-83-936692-7-1 (https://cs.pollub.pl/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/book_of_abstracts.pdf). The presentations represented 139 co-authors. The conference covered a wide range of computer technology applications: generating 3D digital twins of various cultural heritage objects, machine translation, methods for automating sign language creation using digital avatars, techniques for assessing the quality of designed interfaces, digital history and art history, as well as methods for making cultural heritage objects accessible to people with disabilities, digitising old prints and manuscripts from library resources, methods for analysing data sets, and the use of artificial intelligence.
Direct conversations between the authors (24 participants from abroad and over 45 from Poland attended) and discussions during individual presentations suggest that contacts have been established that will contribute to deepening existing collaboration and initiating new, fruitful initiatives.
Jerzy Montusiewicz – Chairman of the Organising Committee
