A New Discipline is Born: The IEEE CyberHumanities Conference 2025 Brings Together Experts to Address the Digital Heritage Crisis

About the THEME

As cyber threats, conflicts, and digital misinformation continue to escalate, cultural institutions are facing an unprecedented crisis.

The IEEE CyberHumanities Conference 2025, taking place from September 8–10, 2025, in Florence, Italy, is the first-ever event dedicated entirely to Cyber Humanities, a transdisciplinary approach integrating AI, cybersecurity, and digital preservation with humanistic expertise.

Sponsored by IEEE, with the auspices of the Italian Research Council, this groundbreaking conference will gather leading researchers, policymakers, technologists, and humanities scholars to discuss:

Comprehensive strategies for protecting cultural institutions against evolving cyber threats and digital attacks, including the latest defensive technologies and best practices.

The intersection of artificial intelligence and historical narratives, exploring both the potential benefits and risks of AI in preserving and interpreting cultural heritage.

Advanced frameworks for ensuring the long-term resilience of digital cultural assets, incorporating both technical and policy-based approaches.

Standardization initiatives in digital cultural heritage preservation, focusing on interoperability and sustainable practices.

Innovation in metadata frameworks, addressing challenges in cross-institutional collaboration and data sharing.

Emerging quantum computing challenges and their implications for archival security and integrity.
