2025 IEEE International Conference on Cyber Humanities (IEEE CH 2025)
Florence, Italy • Hybrid Conference | September 8–10, 2025
https://www.ieee-ch.org/
====================================================
The IEEE International Conference on Cyber Humanities is an annual event sponsored by the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC) Society.

DESCRIPTION & SCOPE
-------------------
It focuses on theoretical and practical aspects of technologies applied to Social Science and Humanities (SSH) that includes Arts, Heritage, History, Archeology, Linguistics, Libraries, and so forth. SSH Is now considered as a Critical and Complex Human-Cyber-Physical Ecosystem that needs preservation, protection, valorization and resilience for the future generations.
The conference explores novel concepts, technologies, solutions and applications along the digital continuum including digitization, curation, preservation, security, reuse and dissemination of Digital Cultural Assets.
