79th International Conference on VIBROENGINEERING

79th International Conference on VIBROENGINEERING is held in Kaunas, Lithuania — the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Academician Kazimieras Ragulskis, whose work laid the foundations of vibration engineering in Lithuania and shaped the field internationally.

The conference follows the established Vibroengineering format: peer-reviewed contributions, keynote lectures from invited scientists drawn from the journal's editorial board and the wider community, and a single full day of presentations followed by a commemorative gala dinner. Accepted contributions are published in Vibroengineering Procedia, indexed in Scopus, EI Compendex, Gale Cengage, Google Scholar and EBSCO.

This edition carries an additional purpose: to gather, in one room, the colleagues, students, and intellectual successors of a man who spent his life on the mechanics of motion — and to look forward, through a new award for young researchers carrying his name.

Sponsors and Partners

Kaunas University of Technology

Kaunas University of Technology had its beginning on 16 February 1922, when the University of Lithuania and its technical faculties were established. The development of Lithuanian scientific ideas continued in the first Lithuanian independent technical school of higher education (in 1950–1990 titled Kaunas Polytechnic Institute (KPI)). It was famous for the ultrasound and vibrotechnics laboratories, and scientific research of textiles. In 1990 KTU regained its status of the university and took a path of rapid reforms of studies and research. The University continues to pursue sustainable partnership of science, business and industry, develops and implements new ideas, innovations and inventions.

Lithuanian Academy of Sciences

The Lithuanian Academy of Sciences was founded on January 16, 1941, and operates under its Charter ratified by the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania. It brings together distinguished Lithuanian and foreign scientists whose academic interests are related to Lithuania. The Academy serves as an independent expert and consultant to the Seimas, the Government, and its agencies on various issues, including research, higher education, culture, social development, economy, environmental protection, health care, and technology. Additionally, the Academy collaborates with 26 foreign academies and research centers, and it oversees the Wróblewski Library.
