Wilga 2024 Summer Symposium on Photonics Applications and Web Engineering was the 52 th edition of the research and technical meetings series. Traditionally, the annual series of technical conferences and topical sessions lasted the whole week. They usually were split to one winter meeting in January and one or two summer events in May/June, and in September. The Covid epidemic and the war in Ukraine has changed a lot. The hybrid meetings were held in Wilga resort near Warsaw, owned by the Warsaw University of Technology. Now the meetings since 2022 were shifted to Lublin. Nearly 100 participants took part in all of the Wilga 2022 events, most of them being young researchers active in all aspects of photonics, electronics and ICT science and technology. Over 60 participants took part in Wilga 2024 meetings. Wilga Symposium embraces hardware and software technologies associated with photonics like optics, optical engineering, optoelectronics, electronics and electrical engineering, mechatronics, chemical and material engineering, applied physics, industrial solutions and applications. Around 50 papers were presented during Wilga 2024, oral and poster. Out of this number, some papers chosen by authors are published in this volume of Proc. SPIE mostly related to photonics. The major change was that during Wilga 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2024 Symposia, during summer editions, no traditional large young researcher sessions at large were possible to be organized. We hope that this will change and Wilga 2025 will return to a good tradition to organize concurrent social research sessions full of young researchers like was during Wilga 2019 and earlier.
