The Library and Information Center of the University of Ioannina is organizing the 31st Panhellenic Conference of Academic Libraries , which will take place on October 22–24, 2025, at the “Karolos Papoulias” Conference Center of the University of Ioannina.

Days of Art in Greece, always at the forefront of innovative thinking and action, supports the Conference as a communications sponsor.

Entitled “Academic Prosperity, Freedom, and Integrity: From AB to AI,” the conference highlights the challenge and opportunity of academic libraries’ transition to the new digital era. At its core is the discussion on artificial intelligence: how it can be creatively integrated into the daily operation of libraries without altering the timeless values of knowledge, freedom of expression, and academic integrity.

With a history spanning more than three decades, the Conference has become an institution for the Greek library community. Library executives, academics, researchers, students, and representatives of the technology sector come together in a unique forum for dialogue, exchanging ideas and shaping the future of libraries.

The themes of this year’s Conference cover a wide range:

Technology and innovation

Scientific communication and Open Science

Diversity, equality, and inclusion

Library spaces and user experience

Information literacy and lifelong learning

Networking and collaboration

Organization, management, and marketing

The presence and contribution of each participant strengthens the role of libraries in education, research, and innovation. The 31st Conference aspires to be a celebration of knowledge and collaboration, highlighting how academic libraries evolve, renew themselves, and contribute to the dissemination of information and creativity.
