How can the progressive academic and professional European community contribute to the better understanding, development and exploitation of the educational landscape in 2015?

We invite all members of the educational community, including old friends and prospective partners, but particularly primary and secondary school teachers, to take part in discovering the conference themes from multiple points of interest.

The conference approach and themes imply openness in choosing the topics and applying interactive session formats. Be prepared for an inclusive, engaging and creative atmosphere. We welcome papers presenting project concepts as well as research findings related to the links between learning, ICTs, innovation and the Transforming Schools topics.

Submissions addressing one or more of the conference themes are welcome in either standard paper or Synergy formats. The deadline for submission is 1 July for papers and 15 August for Synergy formats. Extension of deadline is possible, please send an email with the request to: athens@eden-online.org.

Find more information about the submission procedure and guidelines.

Paper presentations are expected to introduce research achievements, reviews of existing results including empirical or theoretical studies, policy reviews, case studies or project outputs.

The Synergy Strand aims to facilitate the sharing of project deliverables, research findings and experiences, offering the participants an open platform to develop new or extended collaboration ideas and plans, to create highly beneficial partnerships by engaging the conference audience interactive working group activities during parallel sessions.

Conference Publication

All proposals should be written in English. Contributions are expected to make relevant contribution to the field and meet customary academic requirements. Full text submissions are awaited – abstracts are not required.

Please make sure that your document is spell checked and proofread before submission.

Accepted contributions will be published both in print and on the EDEN Portal in the ISBN-identified Conference Proceedings.

Selection

Evaluation of paper submissions is done by double peer-review. Decisions on acceptance will be based on originality, innovation and quality of contribution. Contributions not matching the conference themes will meanwhile also be considered if they bring new knowledge and benefit to delegates.

The Synergy contributions will not be subjected to the same rigorous academic peer review as paper submissions but their acceptance will be also decided by experts from the Programme Committee. Aspects of evaluation include the relevance, level of elaboration of the initiative and quality of presentation.
