Theme

Artificial Intelligence Innovations: Empowering public organisations and enhancing quality in education

ICEQ welcomes proposals to present at its 2025 International Conference.

The 8th edition of the International Conference on Education Quality (ICEQ) invites professionals, researchers, educators, and public sector leaders to submit abstracts that explore the role of AI in driving transformative change. The theme, "AI Innovations: Future Foresights in Empowering Public Organizations and Enhancing Quality in Education," uniquely positions this conference at the intersection of two critical domains: public organizations and education. ICEQ 2025 is distinctive in building a necessary and timely bridge between these two spheres to uncover synergies, share best practices, and develop holistic strategies that can benefit society as a whole. While the scope of the conference has expanded, we continue to embrace our core community of educators and educational researchers. We encourage submissions that explore how AI can transform educational leadership, pedagogy, and institutional effectiveness, alongside those that examine its broader impacts on governance, public policy, and organizational transformation.
