MIPRO and the University of Zadar are organizing an expert workshop dedicated to the latest advancements in robotics, autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and their applications in industry, science, security, and environmental protection.
 

Another successful International MIPRO Convention has come to a close. At this year's 49th edition, more than 60% of the paper authors attended in person, while a large number of participants followed the remaining programme online. Overall, the convention brought together more than 1,500 participants.

A total of 408 papers were accepted for MIPRO 2026, authored by 1,096 researchers from 53 countries across six continents. This represents the second-highest number of accepted papers in MIPRO's history, despite the implementation of even more rigorous peer-review criteria. 

This year's 375 scientific and professional papers that have met IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements have been published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. We congratulate all the authors for their success in the hope of further successful cooperation!
 

The MIPRO Annual ICT Award, "Tesla's Beacon of Knowledge", honored individuals whose pioneering achievements had made outstanding contributions to the advancement of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), science, and innovation. Inspired by the legacy of Nikola Tesla, the award recognized visionary leadership, scientific excellence, and technological breakthroughs that shape the future of society.

As digital technologies continue to shape modern society, ensuring their accessibility and inclusivity becomes an essential responsibility for future engineers. Željka Car, Full Professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb, will deliver an invited lecture at the upcoming EE conference. 
 

The lecture will highlight key concepts such as universal design and assistive technologies, alongside a teaching approach based on project-based learning and the use of emerging technologies. Particular emphasis is placed on multidisciplinary collaboration, bringing together engineering students and faculty with experts from social sciences, as well as involving end users directly in the development process.
 

At the upcoming ICTLAW conference, an invited lecture will be delivered by Goran Vojković, Full Professor at University North, who will address the important issue of responsibility and risk management in digital public administration.
 

The digital transformation of public administration has introduced highly structured electronic processes that enable full traceability of every step in administrative procedures. While such systems significantly improve formal compliance and transparency, they also reveal a less visible issue: the fact that every action is recorded does not necessarily mean that responsibility for managing processes, compliance, and legal risks is clearly defined.

“Tesla’s Beacon of Knowledge” Award Committee made a decision to accept two proposals.

Pavle Skočir is a Technical Account Manager at Axiros, a software company specializing in carrier-grade solutions for device and customer experience management, primarily in the telecommunications sector. Since joining Axiros in 2022, he has focused on monitoring solutions for access and WiFi networks. He will deliver an invited lecture as part of the CTI conference.
 

This presentation explores how device management and monitoring solutions originally designed for the telecommunications domain can be effectively applied to solar energy production systems. It demonstrates how telecommunications systems in use today can power tomorrow's solar energy infrastructure.

Davor Runje is the Vice President for Agentic Systems at Synthpop AI, a U.S.-based software company specializing in healthcare process automation, and he will deliver an invited lecture on the topic of communicating AI-based agentic systems as part of the AIS conference.
 

AI agents are increasingly pervasive. While they are built on large language models, they often appear more capable than anysingle model alone. We argue that a primary reason for this effect is effective inter-agent communication.

Superintelligence is Coming – How to Upgrade Our Societies NOW?

Matjaž Gams
Head of the Department of Intelligent Systems at Institut Jozef Stefan, Ljubljana, Slovenia 

 
This presentation will provide an overview of key areas where AI is enabling significant upgrades – including education, bureaucracy, and healthcare – along with practical examples of ongoing implementations. As a case study, HomeDOCtor will be showcased – an AI-powered virtual doctor with an estimated IQ of 150, currently operating 24/7 in Slovenia.
