This congress represents an opportunity for sharing of experience amongst international specialists, users, researchers, decision-makers, and teaching staff from all over Europe. Moreover, it is a very good event to present and publish the latest results of research, development, and deployment of Information Technology in HEIs.

Six track program

The program is divided into 6 tracks with a track chair responsible for the track content. The track chairs together with the rest of the program committee will review the submissions made to the congress to assemble the best possible program.
