Call for Papers

The 14th edition of the Technological Ecosystems for Enhancing Multiculturality (TEEM) conference will be held at Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP), Porto – Portugal, from October 20th to 23rd, 2026. It is organised by CIETI Research Center of Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP) – Technical University of Porto (UTP), in collaboration with Centre for Research and Intervention in Education (CIIE) of Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences of the University of Porto (FPCEUP). This event brings together researchers and postgraduate students interested in combining different aspects of the technology applied to knowledge society development, with special attention to educational and learning issues regarding, but not limited to, the following broad-scope research areas: Educational Assessment and Orientation, Human-Computer Interaction, eLearning, Computers in Education, Communication Media and Education, Medicine and Education, Learning Analytics, Engineering Education, Robotics in Education, Diversity in Education, Gamification and Games for Learning. TEEM conference is divided into thematic and highly cohesive tracks.

Each track shares the scientific and formal aspects for paper submissions, peer reviews and publication. Nevertheless, the track chairs will organise the proper dynamics to achieve the most important goal: to create a research community. Therefore, the conference social events are open to all participants, including those registered as students, for reinforcing intercultural and multicultural skills among them, independently of the tracks they are involved.

To strengthen the sense of “belonging” to TEEM’s family, additional challenges will be proposed during the conference.
