Dear EAHIL Colleagues,

On behalf of the International Programme Committee and the Local Organising Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the EAHIL2025 Workshop, to be held in Lodz, Poland, from 9–13 June 2025.

The main theme of the workshop is “IMAGINE”. This multidimensional word is formed by the initial letters of the concepts that will be the motto of the planned workshops:

We believe the power of imagination will empower the EAHIL community to exchange knowledge and good practices, overcome stereotypes, to create interesting ideas and solutions, and promote professional development and improve cooperation. Our workshops will cover a broad range of topics and produce valuable outcomes from our collective efforts.

During the EAHIL2025 Workshop, you will have the opportunity to discover not only the heart of the city, where the conference centre is located, but also the revitalised historical parts of Lodz, which are integrated into modern buildings and streets. As a post-industrial city, it bets on modern services, science, innovative branches of production and the creative sector.

Situated in central Poland, Lodz is the country’s fourth largest city, with population of over 650,000 inhabitants. Today, Lodz is one of the significant Polish research centres and the seat of humanities, arts, and sciences universities. Our city is one of the major academic centres in Poland.

The EAHIL2025 Workshop will also feature high-level accompanying events such as – the Opening Reception, Conference Dinner, and city tours, allowing you to experience Lodz’s unique atmosphere. We will ensure you have comfortable conference venues and delightful spots to relax and socialise.

The members of the LOC are here to assist you in having an unforgettable stay.

We look forward to seeing you at the event!

Witold Kozakiewicz, Chair of EAHIL 2025 International Programme Committee
