ABOUT
EDUSMART – International Conference on Education, Science and Modern Approaches in Research & Teaching is an international academic conference series dedicated to exploring modern methods of teaching, learning, and research, covering all educational levels — from foundational learning (early childhood education) to higher education and lifelong learning.
The conference addresses educators, researchers, and professionals, as well as pupils, students, and graduates, fostering dialogue across different levels of the educational spectrum. EDUSMART provides a platform for exchanging innovative practices and interdisciplinary approaches in education and science, with a particular focus on technology-enhanced learning, blended and online learning, ICT-based assessment, artificial intelligence in education, and emerging pedagogical methodologies.
Organized twice a year — each edition focusing on a distinct thematic area — by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest, EDUSMART brings together academics, practitioners, and learners from diverse fields to share their latest results, ideas, and applications in teaching and research. This series aims to stimulate collaboration, inspire innovation, and strengthen the connection between education, science, and society.
All submitted abstracts and full papers undergo a double-blind peer review process conducted by members of the Scientific Committee and invited reviewers, ensuring the academic quality and integrity of all published contributions.
We warmly invite you to participate in EDUSMART and look forward to fruitful exchanges and future cooperation.
