ICAIIT 2026 — International Conference on Applied Innovations in IT

The discipline of Information Technologies is an important and highly dynamic field. A further challenge is that research increasingly requires greater collaboration — between researchers, and between researchers and industry — to integrate capabilities and face today's challenges. The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers from academia and industry, as well as practitioners, to share ideas, problems, and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of Innovation Management in IT Science.

All accepted papers will be published in the journal under an ISBN reference. Digitale Hochschulbibliothek Sachsen-Anhalt is a member of CrossRef and every paper receives a DOI (Digital Object Identifier). Proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Clarivate Analytics (CPCI-S Web of Science) and Scopus.

Scholarship Announcement

Scholarship Announcement: Anhalt University of Applied Sciences and the ICAIIT chairs are dedicated to helping young scholars achieve their research and academic goals. Therefore, we announce the offer of two partial scholarships covering conference registration fees to select early-career academics who might not otherwise have the financial resources to attend our academic conferences.

The candidate must be affiliated with an institution located in a low- or lower-middle-income country. The Conference Committee will give scholarships to qualified applicants whose abstracts were so exceptional that they passed the double-blind peer review process, obtained high scores, and were chosen to be presented at the conference.
