The 23rd Conference „Information Society and University Studies“ IVUS2018 is a joint event that brings together three conferences and is aimed at Master & PhD students as well as at young scientists at the beginning of their career to share ideas, present research results and provide new scientific opportunities. The participation of researchers and practitioners of the field is also encouraged.

The Conference Information technologies IT2018 is a traditional annual conference organized since 1995 in succession by Vilnius University Kaunas Faculty, Kaunas University of Technology, and Vytautas Magnus University, Kaunas, Lithuania.

The International Conference for Young Researchers in Informatics, Mathematics, and Engineering ICYRIME2018 is an international conference reserved to young scientists moving their first steps as autonomous authors and contributors in the field of Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, Informatics, Electronics, Math and applied sciences. It is organized by University of Catania, Catania, Italy since 2016.

The Symposium for Young Scientists in Technology, Engineering and Mathematics SYSTEM2018 is an international symposium for young scientists organized by Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland since 2016.
