"Knowing the Past for Preparing the Future" HISTELCON contributes to reawakening the “passion for technology” which is not only a vital part of human culture, enabling a meaningful life, cultural achievements, and prosperity, but also, especially today, an “enabler” of resilience and security. HISTELCON is a flagship conference series of IEEE Region 8 held every two years and is dedicated to any aspects of the history of electrical engineering, electronics, computing, and their impact on social and economic and development. HISTELCON 2025 will be the ninth HISTELCON conference, being the first to be held in Germany. The conference official language is English, and all presentations will be oral. The conference will be hosted in the charming city of Bonn, Germany, in the Uniclub right next to the Rhine river in the center of the city.
