INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES conference was first organised in 1995 by the biggest technical university in the Baltic states – Kaunas University of Technology. The annual conference takes place in the Lithuanian city of Kaunas and belongs to a group of events from the conferences series „Lithuanian Science and Industry“. As Lithuania joined European Union becoming a direct contributor to Union‘s economics, the importance of global issues of industrial and economical competitiveness has reached unprecedented heights. Achievements in technological sciences directly influence the success in this field. Therefore starting with the 14th edition of the conference the aim is to invite scientists and researchers from all over Europe and beyond in order to promote Lithuania’s participation in European scientific community while also encouraging practical application of the IT research results in search of a mutual benefit. The main goal of IT 2008 is to stimulate the cooperation and interoperability between European scientists thus helping to find new opportunities within EU organised scientific-applied research programs.
The concept of the conference has also undergone serious changes in the face of an extremely rapid progress of communication technologies. As a result, during IT 2008 virtual sessions will be organised alongside traditional ones thus greatly improving the mobility of the participants.
