Who We Are

Welcome to the 16th International Conference “Creativity and Culture” (CC2025), where science and art meet. We have joined forces to create a space where scientists, artists, and cultural enthusiasts can come together to explore the fascinating world of creativity and culture. This unique event is organized by the scientific group “Creative Industries and Innovations” at Vilnius University Kaunas Faculty, Institute of Social Sciences and Applied Informatics, and the Kaunas Faculty of Vilnius Academy of Arts, Lithuania.

We believe that creativity and culture are powerful forces for positive change. That’s why the 16th International Conference “Creativity and Culture” (CC2025) is more than just a conference — it’s a community: a place where we can learn from one another, be inspired by new ideas, and build lasting relationships.

Our goal is to ensure that discussions are insightful, research-based, and thought-provoking. At the same time, we celebrate creativity in all its forms and look forward to sharing our perspectives on the artistic processes that shape today’s culture.

Whether you're a researcher, artist, student, or simply curious about the world of creativity and culture — we invite you to join us in Kaunas or online.

Let’s explore, create, and celebrate together!
