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 20 to 23rd, 2026. It is organised by CIETI Research Center of Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP) – Polytechnic of Porto (P. Porto). 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.

Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit full, original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered for publication in any other forum. The Program Committee will referee all submissions for quality, originality, and relevance.
All papers will have 8-10 pages and will be written in English following the template provided by Springer (https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/conference-proceedings/conference-proceedings-guidelines). The template is blank but inside you will find the different styles for titles, paragraphs, etc..
Important dates
- Submission deadline: May 15, 2026
- Notification of acceptance: July 6, 2026
- Camera-ready submission: July 24, 2026 (authors must also complete their registration by July 24, 2026)
- Early registration deadline: July 31, 2026 (early), October 12, 2026 (late)
- Conference: October 20-23, 2026
Publication
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be published in the series Lecture Notes in Educational Technology in Springer indexed in Scopus and Web of Science Book Citation Index.
Authors with the best papers will be invited to prepare and submit extended versions to be considered, after a new peer review, for publication in several special issues in scientific journals. Some of them are mainly linked to specific tracks (as it is described on each track page), others have a more transversal scope and papers from all tracks may be invited.
Format
The conference will be face-to-face.
