COORDIAL INVITATION TO ATTEND VIPSI 2025, SPLENDID, BUDVA, MONTENEGRO

The mission of this conference is to synergize the expert 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, 2026. An optional departure day is January 2nd, 2026. Many participants will stay beyond this date, for more interaction after the conference is closed, in the morning of January 2nd, 2026.

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.

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.
