Call

PIP Track Call at AIED 2026 is open!

Christian M. Stracke

The Call for Contributions of our Practitioners, Industry and Policy (PIP) Track is open now!

The PIP Track will be repeated again at the 27th International AIED Conference 2026 in Seoul (Korea) after its successful introduction last year at AIED 2025:

Are you an AIED practitioner, industry representative or policy maker?

Then you are most welcome: Our Call for Contributions is open until 15th of February 2026!

We kindly invite you to share AI in Education (AIED) examples and initiatives from industry, schools, higher education, workplaces, and society at-large.

Our Call is not asking for scientific papers, but contributions on the role of AI in industry and society, in relation to educational challenges and opportunities.

We expect this track to be a low barrier of entry allowing researchers to learn from practitioners and policy makers, and allowing practice and policy to be enriched, in turn, by rigorous evidence-based research.

The important dates:

  • Submission deadline: February 15, 2026
  • Notification of acceptance: March 13, 2026
  • Camera-ready versions due: March 20, 2026

As PIP Track Co-Chair, I would be happy to welcome you in our PIP Track!

I’m looking forward to your submission!

UNESCO OER Recommendations Call

UNESCO OER Recommendations Call

Christian M. Stracke

UNESCO has published the OER Recommendations in a first public version.

The long-term aim is the approval as official international UN recommendations by the United Nations in the global plenary 2019. That would be a milestone for our global OER movement and Open Education in general!

The OER Recommendations are following up the Second World OER Congress organized by UNESCO in Ljubljana on 18th to 20th of September 2017. And they are based on the Ljubljana OER Action Plan 2017 that were approved during the Second World OER Congress.

And UNESCO has lauched a Call for Contributions to collect comments on the OER Recommendations. The OER Recommendations are available in English and in French.

Deadline for submissions is on Friday, 1st of June 2018.
