MONTERREY, Mexico, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — For the ninth consecutive year, Tecnologico de Monterrey (Tec) calls all those interested in participating in the International Conference on Educational Innovation 2023, the most influential congress on educational innovation in the Spanish-speaking world. The call will remain open until July 29, 2022.
Presentations will be delivered on six topics: Educational Trends, Technologies for Education, Management of Educational Innovation, Academic Innovation in Health Sciences, Training throughout Life, and EdTech Entrepreneurship. Participation will occur in various modalities, such as research or innovation presentations, expert panels, book presentations, networking tables, or EdTech conferences.
“Events like this allow us to reflect on the challenges currently facing the educational ecosystem and generate knowledge about educational innovation, such as the new teaching/learning methods and tools demanded by the new generations,” said José Escamilla, director of the Institute for the Future of Education at Tecnologico de Monterrey.
For UNESCO, educational innovation means “a deliberate and planned act of problem-solving that aims to achieve higher quality in student learning, overcoming the traditional paradigm.” Since its foundation, Tecnologico de Monterrey has been an institution with an innovative spirit. To achieve its purpose of training people to become change agents willing to benefit others requires continuous transformation. Hence, Tec created the Institute for the Future of Education, a center focused on the future of education to improve the lives of millions of people. As part of its transformative agenda for transmitting and disseminating knowledge in higher education and lifelong learning, the IFE opens its doors beyond the borders of Ibero-America.
In the eight prior editions of this congress open to external audiences (2014 to 2021), interest has been increasing: In 2019, contributions and participation came from 23 countries, which increased to 30 participating nations in 2021. Therefore, it is expected that in 2023, the event will have an even greater scope of speakers and participants.
The International Conference on Educational Innovation 2023 will take place from January 16-18, 2023. Another of its main objectives is to continue forming a multidisciplinary network of specialists who exchange experiences, knowledge, and valuable proposals regarding educational innovation.
