researchers from the USA and EURASIA. The arrival day is
December 30th,
2025. The formal presentation day is December 31st,
2025. In formal discussions are scheduled for January 1st,

interaction after the conference is closed, in the morning of
January 2nd,

The
main sponsor of the conference is the IPSI Transactions on
Internet Research, a journal on the eSCI list, established
exactly two decades ago, so this is also an anniversary
gathering of friends experts who contributed before to this
journal or to its related activities, led by Professor
Milutinovic, whose 75-year anniversary will be marked at the
same time.
This
conference features plenary speeches, brainstorming panels,
expert panels, and activities leading to the creation of
mission statements.
For previous VIPSI conferences,
please see web (https://vipsi.org/ipsi/conferences/).
For past articles published in IPSI Transactions on Internet Research, please see web (https://tir.ipsitransactions.org/).
The
stress of the conference is on the brainstorming, networking,
exchange of ideas, and a good creative atmosphere.
The conference will take place in the five-star Splendid Hotel of
Budva, Montenegro. The venue is close to the Tivat Airport and
about 50km away from the Podgorica airport. Interested
participants are asked to book their rooms directly with the
hotel, with the reference to VIPSI 2025.
