Over the past ten years, SLERD has become a venue for academics, practitioners, and students worldwide, fostering innovative approaches to education that prioritize the human factor, social innovation, inclusivity, and accessibility. This milestone conference is an invitation to both celebrate the achievements of the past decade and engage in discussions that will define the future of smart learning environments. As SLERD 2025 unfolds, participants will contribute to shaping a vision that aligns technological advancements with the needs of diverse communities, ensuring that the future of education is adaptive and inclusive. The themes for this year’s conference emphasize the overarching nature of smart learning ecosystems: /*places for smart education, people-centered design, and supportive technologies*/. Through these lenses, SLERD 2025 will address evolving models of institutional learning, the role of design and co-creation, the integration of AI and immersive technologies, and ethical considerations essential to a sustainable educational future. /*Topics of interests*/ *SLERD 2025* is proud to invite colleagues - researchers and practitioners - from all over the world to share the efforts concerning the development of smart learning ecosystems and, contributions on how to build together a brilliant future, where smart learning ecosystems and smart education will be even more central in the education of future citizens, and in the promotion of social innovation and territorial development.
