EDEN 2016 Annual Conference: #EDEN16

Budapest (HU), November 2015 - EDEN, which will celebrate its 25th Anniversary in 2016, is proud to be a continuously strengthening and developing the European association in the fields of open learning, distance learning, and eLearning, as well as learning modernization and innovation. The jubilee conference in Budapest will take place from 14-17 June 2016. EDEN is now calling for contributions for the event.

In the new learning environments, the core players and stakeholders – learners, educators, government bodies, educational and learning institutions - increasingly acknowledge the chance for constructive and positive changes. Perhaps there are new business models, new policies, and different ways to understand technological influences and the networked society – the learning environment – in its widest sense.

The historical perspective from the start has been conceived as a dialogue between the experience and the imagination. Some celebration is allowed, but EDEN seeks to use this special occasion to combine the past and future in synchronization with the concept of the anniversary conference to find out what our academic and professional community has created that has been important and worth acknowledging as mainstream and sustainable.

Call for Contributions

There is a need of reflections of practice that support paradigm-changing transformations based on systematic knowledge. The responsibility of the scholarly community includes widening the concept of learning and its role in society and exploiting transformative knowledge to drive social change.

Networking and interactivity, sharing, and discussion will be core aspects of the conference experience, focusing on what you can learn from and with your peers.

Submissions that relate to the Conference scope and themes are invited in the following formats: paper, poster, workshop, training, demonstration, and synergy.
